to allied 
more strikes 


By Micha el Eva ns and 
Jamie Detemer 

THE Iraqi foreign minisby 
last night agreed feat Unified 
Nations inspectors shook! be 
allowed tD fawd in Baghdad, 
less than an hour before foe 
oqriry of a coalition deadline 
backed by the threat of re¬ 
newed air attacks. 

However, Iraq made no 
comment <xi a demand for the 
dismantling of police posts on 
the border between Iraq and 
Kuwait which was also sub¬ 
ject to a 9pm deadline. 

A news black-out had been 
imposed oh foe activities erf the 
US Navy task force in the 
Gulf, led by the carrier USS 
Kitty Hawk, after reports that 
the Americans had been tak¬ 
ing on fresh supplies of 
ordnance. 

Only 45 minutes before the 
deadline was due folate effect 
the Iraqf foreign ministry in 
announced that it 
granted permission for 
UN flights to land in the Ipaqi 
capital for three days, ending 
on Monday. However. Iraq 
added that foe responsibility 
for foe safety of the aircraft in 
flight rested with foe coalition 
ah forces which controlled the 
sides. 

While foe threat erf conflict 
remained yesterday, it emer-. 

ITto send bombers tjadeto 
southern Iraq on Thursday 
had been iqeded after opposi¬ 
tion from Britain and France- 
Tbe division between the Gulf 
war alHes over foe American 
plan occurred during a review 
of foe raids on'Wednesday, 
which produced only a 50 per 
cent success rate. Some senior 
American officials had been 
keen to return-an Thursday 
night to ensure that all sur¬ 
face-to-air missile batteries 
were put rat of action. 

However, Britain and 
France said that a return to foe 
same targets would be seen as 
a feeble response to President 
Saddam Hussein's posture of 
defiance. America’s allies frit 
that foe coafitkm should con¬ 
centrate on preventing any 
repetition of foe cross-border 
incursions by Iraqis into the 
demilitarised rone m northern 
Kuwait patrolled by UN 
observers. ' 

During Operation Desert 
Storm, iestripng targets'that 
had been -missed or only 



Covering up: an American saflor wearing a mask for protection against the wind and cold on USS Kitty Hawk, on duty in the Gulf 


lightfy damaged became a 
daily event However. Wed¬ 
nesday raid was only a small 
mission rimed at sending 
Saddam a political as wril as 
militaiy signal. The agree¬ 
ment not to return to foe same 
■ targets became apparent 
when. President Bush an¬ 
nounced that Iraq had been 
ordered to let ilUN inspection 
team land in Baghdad. 

The first dements of an 
American infantry battalion 
also arrived in Kuwait yester¬ 
day to boost security on foe 
border with Iraq. Diplomats 
from America. Britain, France 
and . Russia met Nizar 
Hamdoon. Iraq’s UN ambas¬ 
sador, to warn him that the 
coaKtion might strike again tf 
foe deadline were ignored.. % 

Speaking at foe White 


House before leaving for his 
weekend retreat at Camp 
David, Mr Bush said: “The 
United Nations has made it 
dear to the Iraqis that foe TJN 


the right to fly UN aircraft into 
foal country at any time.” 
Asked if the West was ready to 
bomb Iraq again, he said: “I 
never say what we do or don't 
do. Sufficient warnings have 
been granted. They know 
what they most do. This is not 
just foe United States. This is 
foe United Nations. It’s a 
strong coalition whose det¬ 
ermination has not dimin¬ 
ished in any single way.” 

In Washington. Richard 
- Cheney, foe defence secretary, 
insisted that although only 
half of the targets were hit by 


allied warplanes on Wednes¬ 
day he was satisfied with the 
raid. However, appearing on 
television, foe defence secre¬ 
tary was noticeably uneasy 
when questioned about 
whether a stray 2,0001b bomb 
inflicted heavy damage on 
apartments near foe town of 
Basra “It’s always possible 
when you drop weapons like 
fois that you can have collater¬ 
al damage," he said. 

According to The Washing¬ 
ton Post, which cited Ameri¬ 
can air force sources, the 
building was struck in a 
botched attempt by a US F15 
Eagle to hit an anti-aircraft 
missile baltezy more than a 
mile away. 

Mr Cheney said he could 
not confirm that foe apart¬ 
ments had been bombed but 


he could not rule it out Hts 
remarks yesterday were in 
sharp contrast to bis com¬ 
ments in the wake of the raid 
when he dismissed abruptly 
Iraqi claims of damage to 
Civilian neighbourhoods as 
foe “same kind of gibberish 
we heard from Saddam Hus¬ 
sein during the war". 

There were also discrepan¬ 
cies last night between Ameri¬ 
can and British accounts of the 
performance of the four RAF 
Tornados which took part in 
Wednesday’s attack. British 
defence sources d aimed that 
foe bombeis had caused ex¬ 
tensive damage to both their 
targets at the al-Amarah air 
base in southern Iraq- Penta¬ 
gon officials said, however, 
that the British were also not 
entirely successful. Heavy 


doud cover over southern 
Iraq, poor tactics and pilot 
error were Named yesterday 
by some Pentagon officials for 
foe disappointing military 
results: 

British defence officials said 
there was never any likelihood 
of foe allied raids achieving 
total success. “You can't expect 
100 per cent success, fois isn't 
an arcade game.” one British 
official said. 

The success rate of foe US 
Navy bombers was reported to 
be as low as 30 per cent Of the 
110 aircraft, only 40 were 
used to bomb targets in a raid 
that lasted just 15 minutes. 
The rest of foe jets provided an 
air umbrella for the planes 
that attacked the targets.

Inflation 
at lowest 
since 1986 

By Janet Bush 

ECONOMICS CORRESPONDENT 

THE headline rate of inflation 
fell to 2.6 per cent in Decem¬ 
ber, the lowest levd since Aug¬ 
ust 1986, mainly because of 
lower mortgage rates. As fur¬ 
ther rate cuts are reflected in 
the retail prices index, head¬ 
line inflation is expetfed to fen 
towards 2 percent this month. 
It was 3 per cent in November. 

There was, however, a small 
rise in the more important 
underlying rate of inflation, to 
3.7 per cent from 3.6 percent 
in November, and it is now 
nearing the top end of foe gov¬ 
ernment's 1 per cent to 4 per 
cent target range. Anthony 
Nelson, economic secretary to 
foe Treasury, said tire rise in 
foe underlying rate was “very 
marginal” and predicted a 
further fall in headline infla¬ 
tion thismonfo 
News of foe fell in headline 
inflation prompted calls for 
lower interest rates. Peter 
Morgan, of the Institute of 
Directors. said that though 
business confidence was grow¬ 
ing, recovery was still in foe 
balance and lower rates were 
needed. Gordon Brown, the 
shadow chancellor, said there 
would not be a sustainable re¬ 
covery until the government 
acted over jobs and industry. 


Sicilian Mafia 
‘boss of bosses’ 
held after 22 
years on the run 

From John Phillips in home 


IN A meticulous police opera¬ 
tion that helped to restore the 
battered credibility of foe Ital¬ 
ian state, Salvatore “Toto" 
Riina, the head of the Sicilian 
Mafia, was arrested yesterday 
after 22 years on the run. 

Riina. the feared leader of 
foe Corieone family, offered 
no resistance when he was 
captured by five police officers 
while driving down a main 
Palermo street with his body¬ 
guard. At first the “boss of 
bosses" tried to bluff his way 
out “You have the wrong 
person," he said, flashing a 
false identity card. 

Riina. 62, murdered his 
way to head the cupola, the 
ruling commission of Cosa 
Nostra, in the early 1980s 
after the arrest of Luciano 
Liggio, the previous reputed 
godfather of Sicily. In 1990 
he was convicted in his ab¬ 
sence on charges of murder¬ 
ing two rival underworld 
bosses, Stefeno Bontade and 
Salvatore InzeriHo. 

Investigators accuse him of 
having ordered foe killings 
last year of Giovanni Falcone 
and Paolo Borseffino, the two 
top anti-Mafia magistrates in 
Italy, and of having master¬ 
minded the assassination in 
1982 of Carlo Alberto dalla 
Chiesa, a carabinieri general. 

A police photograph issued 
yesterday showed Riina look¬ 
ing older and more heavy-set 
than the only file picture. 20 
years old, available. But foe 
“man of honour" evidently 
had not undergone plastic 
surgery, as was widely 
believed. 

In Rome the cabinet burst 
into applause when Giuliano 
Araalo, foe prime minister, 
announced the arrest Nicola 
Manrino, the ulterior minis¬ 
ter, said: "This is an extraordi¬ 
nary coup." 

As well as satisfaction at 
having “decapitated" the Ma¬ 
fia. at least for foe time being, 


investigators are proud of 
having taken the ruthless 
crime boss alive, hoping he 
will be persuaded to co-oper¬ 
ate and disclose to what extent 
Cosa Nostra is protected for 
politicians. 

In Palermo, satisfaction 
among investigating magis¬ 
trates was tempered by bitter¬ 
ness that the authorities had 
not acted before the murder of 
Falcone, his wife Giovanna. 
Borsellino. and their police 
bodyguards. 

“Obviously it happened 
now because they decided to 
arrest him now." one magis¬ 
trate said. It had long been

Kuna's whereabouts, but left

politicians.

a normal life in many Tespects.

emony presided over by a 
priest and having his four

NatWest pay freeze 
raises union fears 
over incomes policy 

By Ross Tieman, industrial correspondent 


LEADERS of Britain's 
250,000 bank workers fear 
that employers are taking 
advantage of the public sector 
pay ceiling to impose an 
incomes policy. 

_ National Westminster, Brit¬ 
ain's biggest bank, has written 
to rts 72,000 staff warning of a 
year-long pay freeze from 
April 1. with only small 
increments for outstanding 
performance. 

The freeze was imposed as 
the underlying rate of infla¬ 
tion took an upward turn 
yesterday, despite a drop of 
0.4 percentage points in the 
retail prices index (RPi). The 
RP1 fell to 2.6 per cenl-The 
underlying inflation rate, 
which unlike RPI is not influ¬ 
enced by cheaper mortgage 
costs, rose from 3.6 per cent to 
3.7 percent in November, the 
first rise since last March. 

Leif Mills, general secretary 
of the Banking, Insurance and 
Finance Union, said: "We are 
now living with an incomes 
policy." He forecast that many 
employers would take their 
cue from the dviJ service 
ceiling of 1.5 per cent on pay 
increases. "We are going to see 
a lot of managements wanting 
to pay either zero increases or 
1.5 percent.” 

Leaders of Britain's 
160.000 National Health Ser¬ 
vice white-collar workers sad 
that they would reject Wednes¬ 
day's offer of an across-the- 
board 1.5 per cent pay rise. 
The unions are believed to be 
seeking a rise of 5 or 6 per 
cent. 

The rejection sets the scene 


for a spring of confrontation 
with the government over 
health service pay. During the 
next three weeks, union nego¬ 
tiators are due to begin pay 
talks on behalf of 170.000 
ancillary workers, 45.000 pro¬ 
fessional and technical grades. 
21,500 ambulance personnel 
and 500.000 nurses. 

In the private sector, unions 
are increasingly concerned 
that employers will try to turn 
the government ceiling into a 
norm. According to latest fig¬ 
ures from the Confederation 
of British Industry pay data 
bank, one manufacturer in 
three has imposed a pay 
freeze. 

Figures last month suggest¬ 
ed manufacturing awards had 
fallen on average to 3.1 per 
cent Pay awards in service- 
sector firms for the quarter to 
November averaged 3.7 per 
cent 

The letter to NatWest staff 
blames the "difficult trading

Mills: fears more firms 
will seek pay freezes 


conditions brought about by 
the recession" for the decision 
to adopt a pay freeze for all 
staff. In the City the news, 
released! only a few weeks 
before the bank’s full-year 
profits are due, raised worries 
that it continues to face an 
exceptionally difficult future. 

During the first half of last 
year, NatWest made a profit of 
E211 million after setting 
aside provisions for bad debts 
of £864 million. Union leaders 
say that their members axe 
being forced to pay the price 
of imprudent lending by the 
banks during the late 1980s. 
They fear that the other lead¬ 
ing banks will follow NatWest 
in declaring a pay freeze. 

Alan Ainsworth, the union 
officer responsible for talks 
with NatWest accused the 
bank of an "arrogant disre¬ 
gard’' for the feelings of staff. 
He said that they were, in 
effect, being asked to accept 
pay cuts, yet the bank refused 
to offer job security in return. 
NatWest expects to shed 
15,000 staff over the five years 
to 1995, and last year an¬ 
nounced 1,500 compulsory 
redundancies because it had 
failed to find enough volun¬ 
teers or shed enough jobs 
through natural wastage. 

Some union leaders fear 
that employers will seek to use 
the recession to do away with 
collective bargaining and the 
annual pay round, refusing to 
return to them when econom¬ 
ic conditions improve. At the 
same time, they say, employers 
are replacing full-time staff 
with part-timers. 


Redwood dismisses Toiy 
councils 9 job loss fears 

By Rachel Kelly, local government correspondent 


A CLAIM that at least 33.000 
local government jobs will be 
lost in the next 15 months was 
dismissed yesterday by gov¬ 
ernment ministers but en¬ 
dorsed by Conservative coun¬ 
cils. which fear the toll maybe 
even greater. 

John Redwood, local gov¬ 
ernment minister, dismissed 
die findings of a survey by the 
Local Government Chronicle 
as “a vague estimate”. He said 
it was too early to give a precise 
figure because councils had 
not yet fixed their budgets. 

Councils were at Che point in 
their budget cyde when they 
tended to exaggerate cuts. Mr 
Redwood claimed, and any 
reduction in local government 
staffing would be because of 
natural wastage rather than 
compulsory redundancies. 

Conservative councils said 
that Mr Redwood seemed not 
to have understood the find¬ 


ings of the survey, which 
predicted the reduction in the 
number of full-time posts that 
were filled. Mike Greatly, of 
the Conservative-controlled 
Association of County Coun¬ 
cils, said: ‘This is a reduction 
in the number of posts in 
council establishments. It has 
nothing to do with levels of 
turnover or natural wastage.” 

Mr Grearly said that al¬ 
though it was too early for a 
precise estimate of job cuts, 
because coundls would not 
complete their budgets until 
March, the survey may have 
underplayed the number of 
losses. “The survey doesn’t 
indude some coundls that 
have not yet made estimates 
about reductions in staffing 
levels, it doesn't indude part- 
timers. and it doesn’t indude 
teachers.” 

The survey estimates that 
3.497 teachingjobs will be lost 


on top of the 33.000 other 
jobs. £ We have cried wolf in 
the past and the predicted 
reductions haven’t happened. 
But this time, because of the 
unprecedented severity of the 
capping criteria, tens of thou¬ 
sands of jobs will be tost” Mr 
Grearly said. 

Geoffrey Filkin, of the Tory- 
controlled Assodation of. Dis¬ 
trict Councils, said the 
estimate of job cuts in the 
Load Government Chronicle 
was on the cautious side. 
“There is a need for central 
government to have a better 
understanding of the true fin¬ 
ancial effects of their practice." 

Mr Redwood said the gov¬ 
ernment would look at the 
cases put by coundls for 
changes in notional budgets 
and changes would be made. 
But there was unlikely to be an 
increase in the central govern¬ 
ment grant to coundls.

Gales wreak havoc 

A father and his son died in Cumbria yesterday morning 
when severe gates blew a lorry on to their car. Gates and 
heavy rain battered many parts, blocking roads with floods, 
fallen trees and overturned terries. Weathermen said there 
may be local flooding over the vteetend as high 
temperatures melt snow. Winds reached 60mph over much 
of Scotland and northern England. Passengers were 
stranded when gales blew down overhead cables on the East

of homes were left without electricity when gates brought

Audit of 
democracy 
launched 

By Peter Riddell 

POLITICAL EDITOR 

AN AUDIT of the state of 
democracy and political 
freedom in Britain is to be 
undertaken over the next 
year by a group of 
poli tidal scientists, law¬ 
yers and supporters of 
constitutional reform. 

Tbe aim of the “Demo¬ 
cratic Audit” is to produce 
a checklist based on 30 
questions, which will be 
presented in tables com¬ 
paring practice in Britain 
with other countries like 
tables in the consumer 
magazine VVhicb?The first 
of a series of reports win 
be published next year. 

The audit is a project of 
the Human Rights Centre 
at Essex University and 
Charter SS, the constitu¬ 
tional reform body. It is 
financially sponsored by 
the Joseph Rowntree 
Charitable Trust Most of 
those invohed in the audit 
are on the centre/teft 
politically. 

Professor David 
Beetham of Leeds Univer¬ 
sity suggested at yester¬ 
day’s launch news confer¬ 
ence that the core 
principles of securing pop¬ 
ular control over decisions 
and of political equality 
should be widely accept¬ 
able. He said there would 
not be a single index but 
several — covering elec¬ 
tions: the accountability of 
the government and the 
EC the democratic bal¬ 
ance between Whitehall 
and the nations, regions 
and localities of Britain; 
the position of ordinary 
citizens in exercising polit¬ 
ical rights and civil liber¬ 
ties; and the degree of 
popular participation in 
decisions. 

The audit will examine 
parliamentary sovereign¬ 
ty. access to official infor¬ 
mation, the constitutional 
rote of the monarchy and 
relations with the EC. 


Calcutt report 


Rothermere accuses royals of 
endangering press freedom 

By SHEriA Gunn, poutical correspondent 


VISCOUNT Rothermere. 
publisher of the Daily Mail, 
today enters the dispute over 
the Calcutt report's demand 
for statutory controls on the 
press by describing the propos¬ 
als as “a ready-made tool for 
any potential dictator. 

In a letter to The Times, 
Lord Rothermere said that he 
regarded alleged attempts by 
the Prince and Princess of 
Wales to use newspapers to 
present their own cases of their 
marriage problems as “ex¬ 
tremely dangerous” for the 
monarchy, newspapers and 
the Press Complaints Com¬ 
mission. 

"It is a sad state indeed that 
now our precious freedom 
could be pul in jeopardy by a 
blinkered lawyer, wo sad, lost 
aristocrats, politicians who 
have been most fairly and 
others most unfairly attacked 
by the press, and the advent of 
a proletarian press which ... 
has not yet been understood 
apparently by the academic 
classes." However, last night 
Lord Rothermere said he. 
could not remember a case of 
a politician being unfairly 
attacked by his newspapers. 


He praised the prime minis¬ 
ter, who has made dear he 
opposes statutory controls. 

As the row over Calcutt and 
press coverage of the royal 
family Tumbles on. ministers 
have raid they wffl oppose a 
bill by the Labour MP Clive 
Soley for giving “victims" a 
statutory right of reply and 
setting up an independent 
press authority. Government 
sources also disclosed that new 
laws, recommended by Cat- 
cutt and accepted by ministers, 
to outlaw physical intrusion

The government will not 
finally decide its formal re¬ 
sponse to the Calcutt report 
until it receives tbe Commons 
heritage committee's report on 
privacy and press intrusions. 

labour MP Joe Ashton, a 
member of the committee, 
which is focusing on press’ 
treatment of private individ¬ 
uals. said yesterday that he 
favoured a statutory body, 
empowered to award compen¬ 
sation to “victims” of incorrect 
stories or press harassment 
He told BBC Radio 4”S Today 
programme: U AH they have is

is rather lfae going through a

down and then saying you are

There is no compensation.” 

Kelvin MacKemde, editor of 
The Sun. said the Calcutt 
recommendations would 
make the British press the 
most tightly.controlled in the' 
world outside . .China and 
Cuba. .

Brooke urged to explain reforms 


THE Press Complaints Com¬ 
mission needs more time to 
assert its authority and should 
introduce only minor reforms, 
members said yesterday. 

. Reacting to the Calcutt re-. 
port, which attacked the 
commission’s failure to curb 
the excesses of the press, 
editors on the PCC said they 
had had a rawdcaL They also 
challenged Peter Brooke, the 
national heritage secretary, to 
spell out reforms to the com¬ 
mission he would like to see 
Introduced.

Guardian and a member of 
the commission, sakh “If the .

government wants something 
rise it must say what it wants. 
Sir David Calcutt under¬ 
mined the PCC because it was 
not wftar he wanted in his or¬ 
iginal report It is impossible 
for the press to respond to this 
until the government makes 
up its mind whether or not it 
wants more fay members.” 

The commission, funded by 
the newspaper industry, has 
ten press , and five fay mem¬ 
bers. Palsy Chapman, editor 
of the News of the World, who 
is a member, said she would 
welcome more fay members. 
“There should be people who 
read newspapers avidly rather 


than people who make com-. 
plaints after hearing some¬ 
thing from a friend," she said. 

Clive Soley, the Labour MP 
whose press biff is doe for a 
second reading soon, said the 
PCC ahouM be replaced by a 
body free from the press. “My 
bill would set up an indepen¬ 
dent authority, to be chosen by 
die home secretory,-that would 
adjudicate on ina c curaci e s." . 

Geoffrey Robertson QC, 
who chaired the enquiry _into 
die Press CotmciL.was scath¬

mission is a PR exercise paid 
for by die jaess-'Calcutr e*. 
poses it .as a confidence trick.” 


Smith says 
tax rise 
is madness v 

By" Jonathan Prynn 

JOHN Smith, the Labour 
leader, urged the government 
yesterday to reject the “eco¬ 
nomic madness” of raising 
taxes in the March budget 

Speaking in Paris at a 
conference on social democra¬ 
cy, Mr Smith said that a net 
increase in taxes would be a 
"massive betrayal” by the 
prune minister; "who as re- ,, 
centty as the British general {., 
election last April talked of 
making cuts “year on year*." 

The government was under 
pressure from some quarters 
of the Conservative party to 
reduce the fiscal deficit 
through an extension of VAT 
or freezes in personal tax 
allowances, he" said. A number 
of senior party figures, induct¬ 
ing Lord Howe of Aberavon, 
the former Chancel/or, Lord 
Ridley of Liddesdale and 
Kenneth Baker both former 
cabinet ministers, have recent¬ 
ly argued for tax increases to 
curb the projected £44 billion 
public deficit. 

“It is, I believe, economic 
madness to contemplate net • „ 
i. increases in taxation on ortii- *\ ’ 
nary taxpayers at the way 
moment the British economy 
is struggling to revive and 
millions of families are still 
struggling to make ends 
meet.” Mr Smith said. 

He war ned fe at the Euro¬ 
pean Community was in dan¬ 
ger of making the same mis¬ 
take by curbing government 
ctefiots “at a time when the 
European economy is poised 
on the vergeof recession”. The 
Maastricht treaty commits 
member states to a fiscal 
defiat target of.3 per cent tfv 
1996. This wopld have the ef¬ 
fect of reducing the combined 
output of the EC by more than 
2per cent Mr Smith said. 

7x11s is obviously absurd and V 
amply not feasible for a mar V 
jority of member states." 

: Deficit-funded.. capital -m- 
vestmenl should be left Out of 
file ,3^ per cent rule and fall 
account take n of unenwdey- 
roent trends in each member 
state, he said.

PLANS to release fee murder¬ 
er of a poKceman after 20 
years in prison provoked an- 
gteyestei^ from police lead¬ 
ers. KennethClarke, tbehome 
secretary, was urged to keep 
Anfoony Jefis in jail and make 
life sentences mean life-long 
imprisonment for kfflers of 
police officers. 

Jeffs, 42, was sentenced in 
1972 to two life sentences for 
shooting PC Peter Guthrie,- 
21, at point-blank range and 
wounding Sgt Gordon Mer¬ 
edith when they answered an 
»t«wm call from a Cov e n t ry 
gun shop. The trial at Bir¬ 
mingham CrownCoujt heard 
that Jeffs had a tattoo saying 
“AH Coppers Are Bastards" 
and loathed all officers. He 
was recommended by Mr 
Justice Ashworth to serve at 
least 20 years. 

Jeffs would be die first 
person who had killed a pofice 
officer to be freed since the 
abolition of die death penalty 
in 1965. Last year John 
Witney, one of three men 
sentenced for the murder of 
three London policemen In 
Shepherd's Bush in 1966, was 
released on licence. Witney 
did not fire any of the fetal 
shots but was recommended 
to Serve a mmfmiiTn of 30 
years. 

Yesterday the Home Office 
said it had been accepted 
policy since the mid-1980s for 


police murderers to serve a 
minimum of 20 years. Leon 
Brittain announced the policy 
when he was borne secretary 
and it was repeated by David 
Waddingtun as home secre¬ 
tary in 1990. Jeffs would be 
released on licence and could 
be returned to prison for 
breaches of the licence. 

But Alan Eastwood, chair¬ 
men of the Police Federation, 
which represents junior ranks, 
said foe decision to free Jeffs 
broke an assurance dial life 
would mean life, which it 
believed was given by the 
Home Of&ce after Witney was 
freed. 

The interests of the police 
and public had been ignored, 
he said. "Officers will react 
bitterly towards this proposal 
release. When a person is 
convicted afwflful murder of a 
police officer on duly then the 
mandatory life sentence 
should mean life." He has. 
written to Mr Clarke and 
be&ercs he will be studying 
reports on die case. 

Mr Meredith, who was 
awarded the George Medal, 
was outraged at the decision. 
He said Jefis did not express 
any remorse for the shootings 
after his arrest. 

The decision to free Jeffe 
was disclosed when Mr Mer¬ 
edith and PC Guthrie's widow 
were told he would be moved 
to a probation hostel in Bristol 



Kfflerand victim: Jefis, left, shot PC Guthrie in 1972 


in p repa ration for his re¬ 
lease. Anna Marie Guthrie 
was 37 at the time of her 
husband's death. She joined 
the police, remarried and is 
now a chief inspector with the 
Warwickshire force. She 
would not comment but Mr 
Eastwood said he understood 
she was very angry about the 
decision and the prospect that 
the police might one day have 
to deal with Jefis again. 

At his trial the court was told 
that Jefis Had boasted of 
“getting” a policeman. He 
was obsessed with guns and 
when other police gave chase 
after tire two officers were shot. 
Jeffs confronted them with a 
bayonet. 

Twenty-five men convicted 
since 1965 of murdering a 
police officer are still in prison. 
They include Harry Roberts, 
55. tire accomplice of Witney 
who actually shot the three 
policemen in Shepherd's 
Bush. He was sentenced to 30 
years’ imprisonment but has 
been eligible for parole since 
1991. When Witney was re¬ 
leased the Police Federation 
was told by Kenneth Baker, 
then home secretary, that Rob¬ 
erts would be treated in accor¬ 
dance with tire judge's 
recommendation. 

Frederick Sewell was jailed 
for 30 years after killing Strpt 
Gerald Richardson in Black¬ 
pool in 1971. Now 58, he 
became eligible for parole last 
year. 

Recently Nicholas Vemage, 
27, was jailed for at least 25 
years for stabbing Sgt Alas 
King, an officer m London, 
a ttem p ting to murder two 
other officers and kflfing two 
burglary victims. He was on 
parole al the time. 

Fifijrane officers have been 
killed on duty since 1965- Last 
year the Police Federation 
debated whether to abandon 
its longstanding poficy of 
arguing for the return of 
capital punishment for mur¬ 
der of police officers, and 
derided overwhelmingly to re¬ 
tain thepobey.

seated their case to a regional 
legal aid appeals committee 
after the hoard last year re¬ 
fused to grant aid. A decision 
by the committee of indepen¬ 
dent solictors arid barxistere is 
expected in the next few weeks. 

News of the meeting comes 
as a man in Scotland who is 
dying from lung cancer was 
been awarded legal aid on 
Thursday to bring a case 
a g a inst two / tobacco com¬ 
panies in tire Court of Ses¬ 
sions. 

John Dean, a man in his 
30s from Northern Ireland, 
was granted aid more than 
four years ago by a regional 
board- Mr Dean, who suffers 
from a circulation disorder 
called Buerger’s disease ihat 
leads to 2.000 leg amputa¬ 
tions annually in Britain, 
daims that a tobacco company 
was negligent in not warning 
him at the age of 10 of the 
dangers of smoking. The case 


is still being prepared. Mark 
Flannagan, of Action on 
Smoking and Health, said 
that the law in Scotland was 
different to England and 
Wales. However, he believed 
tins week’s Scottish ruling 
could provide the trigger need¬ 
ed to win backing for the 
several hundred cases south of 
the border. 

He said, however, that tire 
first test case, involving a 
smoker suing a tobacco com¬ 
pany over product liability, 
could take tip to a decade to 
get to court Mr Flannagan 
said it was more likely that a 
test case on passive smoking 
could be in tiie courts sooner 
with or without legal aid. 

“In a passive smoking case 
it is ah employer against an 
employee. In a product liabil¬ 
ity case you are dealing with a 
zrralti-ntiQion pound indus¬ 
try,” he said.

TkeSumay Times 
tomorrow 


THE Prince of Wales flew 
from Scotland to Sandring¬ 
ham yesterday to spend the 
weekend with the Queen. The 
prince had spent several days 
at Balmoral as he does every 
January, away from the heat 
generated by publicity sur¬ 
rounding the so-called 
"Camillagate" tapes. 

Members of the prince’s 
staff dismissed as pure fabrica¬ 
tion reports in some newspa¬ 
pers yesterday that he was. 
holding a summit meeting of 
dose friends at the Queen’s ‘ 
Aberdeenshire home to deride 
how to ride tiie storm of the 
intimate taped telephone con- 
versation. claimed to be be¬ 
tween the prince and Camilla 
Parker Bowles. None of the 
prince’s arrangements had 
changed as a result of the 
disdwores ofthe last few days* 
friends said. 

Although the prince's visit to 
Sandringham is said to be 
routine, and planned long in 
advance to coincide with offi¬ 
cial engagements in Norfolk 
next week, the embarrassment 
of the telephone tapes is un¬ 
likely to pass without some 
comment during a family 
weekend. It is dear, however, 
that foe prince has no inten¬ 
tion of entering the puWic 
debase, and hopes that by 
distance and silence he will in 
time douse tbe fires of a nine- 


day wonder. Time, his advis¬ 
ers befieve, is on his side; he 
still has many years in. which 
to prove his worth as the next 
monarch. 

There is also a feeling 
among the prince's friends 
and advisers that there is 
nothing constructive that can 
be said, and that comment of 
any kind win merely exacer¬ 
bate an already difficult situa- 
tion. Buckingham Palace 
continues to decline any com¬ 
ment on foe tapes, and will 
voice no opinion on whether 
or not they are genuine. 

Staff working for the 
prince’s "family” of leading 
charities, including the 
Prince’s Trust and Business in 
the Community, are likely to 
redouble their efforts in com¬ 
ing months to raise the profile 
of a committed, caring prinoe, 
in the hope of emphasismg his 
positive rale. Although it was 
planned long before the car- 
rent scandal erupted, the 
Prince’s Trust is hoping to 
create a favourable image next 
month when the charity’s 
work with young people de¬ 
scends on Moscow. 

The prince wfil not attend 
foe senes of seminars and 
lectures in the Russian capital 
he will be otherwise engaged 
on a state visit to Mexico, 
unaccompamed by his es¬ 
tranged wife.

forward. 

An exhibition at foe Science 
Museum in London which 
opens this week is based on 
scientific evidence which 
shows “overwhelming indica¬ 
tions of the health costs of 
passive smoking”. Professor 
John Durant, an assistant 
director (rf the museum, said. 

However, Peter Lee. a con¬ 
sultant statistician who has 
contracts with the tobacco 
industry and who has written 
a book on passive smoking, 
says the museum is wrong. "I 
don’t think there is a proven 
case" he said. 

Christopher Bullock, of the 
Tobacco Advisory Council, foe 
industry’s trade association, 
said: "We would be very 
dismayed if the museum pro¬ 
duced an exhibition that sug¬ 
gested the evidence pointed to 
a health connection." 


Nurses

NURSES confirmed their 
suspicions that a casualty 
patient was stealing when 
they took an X-ray photo¬ 
graph of his pockets. It 
revealed jewellery stolen 
from their handbags. 

Tbe man, who was 
admitted to casualty at the 
Royal Gwent Hospital 
Newport, with a suspected 
broken arm, entered the 
nurses’ staff room while 
waiting for treatment and 
rifled through their bags 
before returning to foe 
waiting room. 

Nurses became suspi¬ 
cions when he refused to 
take off his jacket for anX-

and police were called 
when a muse recognised 
the shape of her cigarette

Miners 
ready to 
bid for 
Betws pit 

By Kate Alderson 

MINERS at Betws coQtcry, 
Dyfed. yesterday demonstrat¬ 
ed their faith in the future of 
coal by offering to buy the pit 
if the government failed to 
grant a reprieve. Manage¬ 
ment is also planning a 

buyout. 

The miners, who worked 
their last shift yesterday, are 
competing with four private 
companies to buy the pit, 
which British Coal has 
deemed "commerced])' un- 
viable". 

Mike Reynolds, Betws 
lodge secretary of the Nat¬ 
ional Union of Mineworkers. 
said: "I think we have serious¬ 
ly embarrassed British Coal 
because private sector inter¬ 
ests are queuing up to buy the 
colliery. Our own pit manage¬ 
ment team arc even consider¬ 
ing a buyout.” 

A management spokesman 
from Betws confirmed yester¬ 
day that they were consider¬ 
ing a buy-out' but did not wish 
to discuss their plans as the 
issue was “one of great sensi¬ 
tivity". Betws is still technical¬ 
ly working, despite the feet 
that only minimal mainte¬ 
nance is now being carried 
out. and bids will not be 
considered until the review 
process has been completed. 

Both the NUM and the pit 
management would prefer 
the pit to stay within British 
Coal rather than be sold to a 
private business. Miners 
daim that they have figures 
which show the pit was head¬ 
ing fora El million profit this 
year, but British Coal say this 
is because no money has been 
spent on development during 
this period. 

Miners fear that any lack of 
maintenance would 
jeopardise the viability of the 
pit. However, a spokesman 
from the British Association 
of CoOieiy Management said 
that problems of deteriora¬ 
tion associated with deep- 
shaft mines, such as 
collapsing feces, flooding and 
rusting machinery, were not 
applicable to Betws, a 
shallower drift mine,

MOUNT OLYMPUS 

Archaeological Discoveries in the Foothills of the Sacred Mountain 


It mu 3,500 years ago that the 
Greeks created the world of their 
gods, which they patterned on the 
social and political system of the 
Myce n ae an period. Just as Aga¬ 
memnon's palace stood on a 
mountain peak in the PeJopocmese, 
so they envisaged the palace of 
Zens, father of the gods, on the 
summit of Mount Olympus: Olym¬ 
pus, the loftiest mountain in 
Greece, towering over the Aegean 
Sea. The lower peaks and the 
ravines were allocated to the rest 
of the pantheon. The gods of 
Olympus lived on until the fourth 
cent u ry AD, when a dynamic and 
determined new religion, Chri¬ 
stianity, ensured the closure of the 
pagan sanctuaries and the sup¬ 
pression of the ancient cult 

Olympian Zens bad sanctuaries 
in many Greek cities, the most 
famous being in the Peloponnese, 
where the Olympic games were 
held It was at oae of these, in the 
foothills of Mount Olympus, that 
Alexander the Great assembled his 
troops, held a splendid festival, 
made a sacrifice to the father of 
the gods, and set off for Asia, 
where he was to confront the 
Greeks' great adversary, the Per¬ 
sian Empire. Alexander made his 
sacrifice at Dion, which means 
"holy place" (from the same root 
come the Latin ffivos and war own 


word "divine*); it was tbe sacred 
centre of the ancient Macedonians, 
the Greeks.of the North. The 
Aristotle University of Thessalo¬ 
niki is conducting archaeological 
excavations on this rite and unco¬ 
vering temple* statues of the gods, 
and people's homes. 

The terrible earthquakes of the 
fifth and sixth centuries AD 
reduced the sacred city's buildings 
to heaps of rubble. The desperate 
inhabitants struggled to repair the 
ruined structures and bring the 
mutilated city back to life; but in 
vain. Nature in all its fury 
gradually reasserted itself: Dion 
disappeared beneath its own ruins, 
and a succession of floods sub¬ 
merged the splendid monuments 
under a thick layer of mud. The 
level of the sea subsequently rose 
and with it the water table at 
Dion, where many of Olympus' 
undaground watercourses came to 
the surface and inundated the area 
with hundreds of springs. The 
archaeologists who have been 
di g gin g there in the water and mud 
in recent years have been asto~ 
nvsh&d to behold statues still 
upright oo their bases after 2,000 
years, heads of divine sculptures 
restored to the light after centuries 
of black oblivion, and hundreds of 
inscriptions engraved in beautiful 
Greek lettering on marble plaques, 



telling of public affairs, Mace¬ 
donian kings, and the private lives 
of ordinary people. 

The oldest and greatest of 
Greek poets, Homer, rings of ibis 
slope. It was here that the gods 
ascended and descended their 
mountain. From here men went to 
Asia Minor to take part in the 
Trojan War. From Olympus' lofty 
peaks the 1 sea and the Greek 
islands could be descried. Around 
700 BC, Hesiod (fr. 7.2) wrote of 
two sons of Zeus, Magues and 
Macedon, who ruled the region 
around Olympus. Magues was the 
fonnder of the Magnesians of 
Central Greece, his brother the 
fust ancestor of the Macedonians 
of Northern Greece. Archaeological 
finds from Homer and Hesiod's 
time in the foothills of Olympus 
reveal tbe close affinity between 
Northern and Southern Greece 
and prove that the ancient Greek 
myths were quite simply a rather 
special form of historiography. 
Even more sensational is the 
discovery of sculptures, inscri¬ 
ptions, coins, and the remains of 
animal sacrifices on one of the 
peaks of Olympus, Ayk» Antonios. 
The inscriptions mention a san¬ 
ctuary of Ofc’mpian Zeus at which, 
as ancient writers have already 
told us, a sacrifice was made by a 
sacred procession, which set off 
each year from Dion and climbed 
the mountain to the palace of the 
father of the gods. At this point 
myth and reality become one. 

The archaeological finds at 
Dion shed abundant light on part 
of Greek history, the chapter 
concerning the generis, the heyday, 
and the continuation of the king¬ 
dom of the Macedonians in its own 
sacred spot at the foot of Mount 
Olympus.

The Braer, carrying 26 million gallons 
of crude oil, has created the biggest oil 
disaster in British waters ever. The 5th 
largest in the world. 

But where was Britain's biggest oil 
company? A confidential internal memo 
leaked to Greenpeace advises top BP 
executives: "We must keep our heads 
down on this one" 

For a company that makes millions 
of pounds of profits from oil every year

BP, like Greenpeace, is helping with •

Aftermath of the oil spill: islanders plan petition as first rescued birds return to the wild 



OARAN DONNELLY 


tanker exclusion zone 


THE world's television crews 
have departed. Most of the 
600 journalists have gone. 
The temporary newsroom at 

Sumbuigh airport has invert¬ 
ed to its original use. a cafeter¬ 
ia. The roads are gloriously 
free of taxis and hire cars. 
Sparkling blue seas are topped 
again by white breakers. Even 
the captain of the salvage boat 
is heading bade to Rotterdam. 

The emergency is officially 
over and the Shetland islands 
have returned to normal, al¬ 
most The tanker and the 
media coverage that accompa¬ 
nied it have left anger and 
frustration in their wake. To¬ 
day, the islanders are holding 
a public meeting and (hey 
plan to organise a petition to 
express their anger at what 
has happened. Most of the 
adult population is expected to 
sign thepetition. which win be 
presented to John Major. 

The petition demands that 
die government immediately 
underwrites the costs facing 
the islanders and the council, 
that strict tanker exclusion

zones be established 
away and that an 
movements be mouitored- 
Isobd Mitchell of Nebister, 
said: “The government has a 
moral and political duty to do 
all it can for Shetland. We 
have run the risk of tins 
disaster for so long.” 

One of the main criticisms 
emerging yesterday was that 
local people had to rely on the 
media for information about 
. the oil spin. Derek Coot, direc¬ 
tor of public health at Shet¬ 
land Islan ds Council admit- 
: ted that the helpline sea up to 
answer questions about die 
risk was not well publicised, 
nor was the centre established 
to cany out health tests. 

Islanders fear that the coun¬ 
cil is continuing to play down 
the health implications of the 
dispersants that were sprayed 
after, the accident Craig 
Redfem, who was helping to 
remove sheep from the diff 
near the wreck four days after 
the Brner ran aground, said, 
no attempt was made to warn 
people. He suffered red blotch¬ 


es on his face andasorethroai 
afterwards. 

John Johnston, who lives on 
Quendale Bay, the woist af¬ 
fected beach, went to his GP 
after feeling sick. “He tested 
my lungs and found them not 
as efficient as they should be 
for a man of my age and 
fitness,” Mr Johnston said. He 
is awaiting further tests to see 
if his condition was caused by 
paffntion. 

The first signs that the oil 
has reached toe seabed have 
been found. Divers have re¬ 
ported large numbers of dead 
mol lu scs and crustaceans. 
Marine biologists are con¬ 
cerned because such creatures 
form an important part of the 
food chain. 

□ “Ramshackle” tankers are 
threatening toe environment, 
Martin Bangemaxm. the 
European. Community com¬ 
missioner responsible for ship¬ 
ping policy, said yesterday. A 
special meeting of EC environ¬ 
ment and transport ministers 
will be held on January 25 to 
discuss shipping safety. 



Safe haven: three eider ducks, the 
first to be rescued and cleaned after 
being contaminated with ofl from the 
Brner, were re tamed to the wild 
yesterday near Inveriteitbin^ Fife 
(John Young writes). Since January 5, 
when toe tanker carrying 84.500 


tonnes of crude oil ran aground on 
Shetland, about 200 seabirds have 
been rescued from the area and 
taken to Middlehank deaning 
centre, operated by toe Scottish 
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty 
to Animals. The birds include long 


tail ducks, shags, guillemots, great 
northern divers. ItittiwaJces, little 
auks and herring gulls. The Scottish 
society said yesterday that the re¬ 
lease demonstrated the inaccuracy of 
the “do hope” message initially sent 
by some observers on Shetland. As 


each bird is released, it is ringed to 
allow its progress to be monitored. 
The RSPCA, which has joined toe 
project, said that about 85 percent of 
toe rescued birds appeared to be re¬ 
covering welL The exception was the 
shags, which had hmg infestation. 


Baby cruelty case 
abandoned after 
parents stay silent 


■ The collapse of a case against the 
patents of a girl who died aged seven weeks 
has led to demands for a change in the law 


By Ian Murray 


THE law must be changed to 
ensure that parents responsi¬ 
ble for the death' of their 
children can be prosecuted, 
toe National Society for toe 
Prevention of Cruelty to Child¬ 
ren said yesterday. 

The charity also called for 
urgent government action to 
I^ug what it said was a legal 
loophole after charges of 
cruelty against the parents of a 
seven-week-old giri who died 
from. a fractured ^k^U were 
dropped by the CtcSm Prose- 
cutkmSeiyireWaomnirattal 
hearing at Thames Magis¬ 
trates' Court in east London 
on Wednesday. 

The NSPCC said that the 
case was only the latest m a 
series where the prosecution 
failed because toe parents 
denied all knowledge of how 
the child died or retained their 
right to silence so that toe 
police could obtain no evi¬ 
dence. The charity said 
children were being put at risk 
because toe law was powerless 
ro punish in such cases. 

The baby, Kim Griffin, 
died in intensive care three 
days after she was taken there 
by ambulance from her home 
on the Isle of Dogs, east 
London. An inquest last 
month was fold that toe had 
died from a 6m fracture of the 
skuIL Other injuries included 
a shattered rib cage, a broken 
arm and collar bone and a 
scalded foot 

The inquest was adjourned 
without a verdict because the 
police had charged her par¬ 
ents, Anne Griffin, 35,-and 
George Hadjounou. 41. They 
were accused of murder but 
toe charge was later reduced 
to cruelty and neglect When 


they came before Thames 
magistrates on Wednesday, 
the Crown Prosecution Service 
dropped all charges. 

A CPS spokeswoman said: 
"We have to review the evi¬ 
dence carefully before letting a 
prosecution go ahead. We 
sought independent advice in 
this case from counsel and 
asked for extra evidence. It 
was not an easy derision but 
we derided there was insuffi¬ 
cient fvidenceto continue." 

The police said yesterday' 
toatlhey had romplefcdtoeir 
enquiries and would not be 
seeking to charge anyone rise. 

At present, a murder charge 
cannot be brought unless it 
can be proved which of the 
parents caused toe fatal injury. 
Cruelty charges are valid only 
if there is dear evidence that 
toe child was neglected. In this 
rase, the couple had called the 
ambulance and there was no 
medical evidence to show ne¬ 
glect As they refused to make 
any statement about what 
happened, there was no evi¬ 
dence for toe court to consider. 

Christopher Cloke, of toe 
NSPCC, said: “While we do 
not want any changes in the 
law which would undermine 
the rights of a defendant, it 
cannot be in the interests of 
justice that a child can die in 
this way and no one is pun¬ 
ished or even tried. Nor can 
that be in the interests of 
surviving or future children." 

. In a submission to the Royal 

Commission on Criminal Jus¬ 
tice, the charity has suggested 
the threshold of- evidence 
could be lowered in such cases 
or a judge could direct a | 
that it was suspicious to 
to give evidence.

Alderney

By John Young 

A GROWING suspicion 
that toe foil story of

a Polish-born architect

that in 1942, when he 
was 16. he was sent to

shot, tortured, beaten or 
wotked to death. His 
story appears to back 
Haim* that thousands, 
rather than the400 or so 
claimed in official esti¬

set up by the Nazis. 

Mr Misiewicz told

Ordination of women priests 

Bishops’ compromise 
splits traditionalists 

Eh' Ruth Gledhill, religion correspondent 


THE.TIMES SATURDAY JANUARY 16 1993 


A THREE-WAY split among 
traditionalists in the Church of 
England emerged yesterday 
over the ordination of women 
priests. 

Anglo-Carholics and evan¬ 
gelicals are divided in their 
response io the plan to appoint 
three “provincial visitors", 
drawn up this week by church 
leaders. 

The Bishop of London, Dr 
David Hope, who has 
emerged as the leader of the 
Anglo-Catholic wing, said that 
some saw the plan as operat¬ 
ing within an unchanged 
Church of England. Others 
saw h as setting up a “church 
within a church". A third 
group would still "rather be 
talking to Ro me". 

Dr Hope made a powerful 
plea for the church to concen¬ 
trate on its primary role of 
mission In the present Decade 
of Evangelism. 

Referring to the large num¬ 
bers of church members con¬ 
fused by the seemingly endless 
arguments, he said: “People 
do not know quite where they 
are. There is a lot of confusion 
and no real sense of direction. 
At the end of the day, what is 
the purpose of the Church of 
England? It is for the conver¬ 
sion of England.” 

He predicted that the legis¬ 
lation to ordain women priests 
could progress quickly 
through Parliament, with a 


possibility of the first woman 
priest being ordained by 
Christmas. 

Dr Hope has not yet decid¬ 
ed whether to make London a 
“no-go area" for women 
priests, under the declarations 
he is entided ro make by Part 
Two of the Priests (Ordination 
of Women) Measure, passed 
by the General Synod last 
November. 

He said that the plan for 
provincial visitors, agreed by a 
meeting of the General Syn¬ 
od's house of bishops in Man¬ 
chester, was the beginning of a 
process and not the Ena! 
solution. 

Legislation or synodical 
action will almost certainly be 
needed to satisfy the thou¬ 
sands of clergy and laity who 
want an assured succession of 
bishops who do not ordain 
women to the priesthood or 
recognise them as priests. 

Speaking at his home in 
Barton Street. Westminster. 
Dr Hope said: “I hope that 
now the individuals and 
groups opposed will really give 
a bit of time to thinking 
through their reaction to what 
are die very bare bones of a 
framework.” 

Traditionalists who wish to 
remain in the- Church of 
England but who oppose 
women priests are reassured 
that ail bishops, including the 
Anglo-Cathotics who opposed 


women priests, accepted the 
bishops' proposals. 

Dr Hope said: 'There may¬ 
be clergy and lay people who 
feel they are in some way m 
impaired communion. But the 
impaired communion is not at 
episcopal level. If there were to 
be a woman bishop in the 
house of bishops, then of 
course we would be in a very 
different situation." 

Forward in Faith, a new 
organisation made up of the 
groups who oppose women 
priests, said the plan was a 
contribution towards its aim, 
“but it does not yet satisfy all 
our requirements" 

The Rev Peter Geldard, 
chairman of the synod's Cath¬ 
olic Group, said the plan 
“fudges the issue and makes 
unacceptable and untheolog¬ 
ical suggestions”. 

The Rev Martin Flatman. 
vicar of Cowley St John. 
Oxford, and one of the few to 
have stated firmly their inten¬ 
tion to resign, said that the 
Manchester agreement would 
not persuade him to change 
his mind. Tr seems to me they 
are trying to keep the church 
together, whatever the cosl It 
is an establishment stitch-up. 
just to preserve the status quo 
of the Church of England." 

Dr Graham Leonard, the 
former Bishop of London, 
described the plan as “quite 
unsatisfactory”. 



Age old problem: after sexism, rac¬ 
ism and all those other politically 
incorrect isms comes the battle 
against ageism (Julia Uewellyn 
Smith writes). 

Age Concern yesterday launched a 
campaign to fight prejudice against 
old people, including posters that 
featured “old codger"" John Fisher, 
above, a 70-year-old from London, 
and others of a woman labelled “siCy 
old moo". The posters wifi go up on 


sites across Britain with the slogan: 
“How long before people call you 
names? Fight ageism now.” 

The pictures were taken by the 
photographer David Bailey, who is 
55. He said: “Ageism is a big 
problem and will affect you and me. 
When you are old. people expect you 
to be serene and wise, but at the 
same time you are dismissed, 
patronised and called names." 

Age Concern is lobbying for legisla¬ 


tion against age-discrimination, sim¬ 
ilar to that for racism and sexism. It 
said the stereotype of an elderly 
person was someone in poor health, 
who lived in poverty and bad lost all 
interest in sex. In reality, aaty3 per 
cent of people over 65 lived in institu- 
tionsand only 22 per cent of those 
over 55 said their health was bad. 

Newspaper articles about hang¬ 
gliding grandmothers and elderly 
people being conned or attacked 


were patronising and reinforced the 
stereotypes, the charity added. Older 
people also suffered prejudice in the 
job market, with many being forced 
to take early retirement, irrespective

T his week, the bishops 
in the Church of Eng¬ 
land met to discuss 
their reactions to the derision 
of the General Synod last 
November to allow women to 
become priests. 

From the statements issued 
at the end of their four-day 
meeting, it seems they spent 
most of their time, energy 
and resources thinking up 
ways to appease a vociferous 
minority still opposed to 
women priests, rather than 
thinking about how they 
should be implementing the 
agreed and expressed will of 
the majority. After ail, the 
case had been won, fair and 
square, after nearly 20 years 
of debate. 

But Christianity is nor 
about winning and losing, 
achieving success, or even 
about systems and doctrines, 
however carefully considered 
they may be. It is about 
acceptance, redemption and, 
above all about loving and 
responding to our fellow 
human beings and to God. 

I confess I have been upset 
by the way certain dements 
in the minority have behaved 
over the past tew weeks. 
Instead of accepting their 
“defeat" in this particular 
debate, they have turned 
themselves into victims of a 
system they now disparage. 


Deadline 
for jail bid 
extended 

By Richard Ford 

HOME CORRESPONDENT 

THE deadline for bids to run 
Strangeways jafi in Manches¬ 
ter has been extended after 
plans for greater private sector 
management of prisons ran 
into difficulties over pay and 
conditions of privately em¬ 
ployed staff. 

The deadline was due to 
expire next Monday but min¬ 
isters have received legal guid¬ 
ance that any staff transferring 
from the public sector to 
commercial firms must retain 
their existing pay and 
conditions. 

The government is to allow 
extra time for firms to take into 
account the financial implica¬ 
tions of a ruling that could 
make running prisons a much 
less attractive deal for the 
private sector. Officials in the 
remands contracts unit deal¬ 
ing with the tendering process 
have given companies until at 
least foe end of the month to 
revise their figures for the 
Strangeways bid. 

Harry Fletcher, of the. 
presure group Prisons are not 
for Profit, said: “Prison staff 
have long argued that it was 
politically unprincipled to em¬ 
bark on jail privatisation. The 
latest twists and turns suggest 
that the Home Office propos¬ 
als are fraught with difficulty. 
It is not too late for politicians 
to abandon their ideology and. 
invest in prisons". 

Strangeways. the scene of 
the worst prison riot in British 
penal histoty, is undergoing a 
£6 3 million refurbishment 
that will be completed later 
this year. Prison service staff 
and management are for the 
first time competing with the 
private sector for foe contract 
to run the jaiL which employs 
about 300 staff. 


Church must find 
a home for all 
after great debate 


Christina Rees 


Perhaps ft would be disin¬ 
genuous at this stage to point 
out that had the measure 
failed, there would have been 
no. carefidfy drafted provi¬ 
sions for those women who 
sense a true vocation from 
God to be priests, nor for 
those who wished to be 
ministered to by them. 

We accept find foe church 
is an imperfect human org¬ 
anisation, and yet we fight 
passionately to protect it. or at 
least foe parts of it that we 
approve of. from change or 
destruction. We admit that 
as a Western male-dominat¬ 
ed institution, we have tend¬ 
ed to turn our faith into a 
series of intellectual proposi¬ 
tions. codified and system¬ 
atised, devoid of much that is 


ChxisHflce. We operate along 
the we^know^ channels of 
human pride and ambition.. 
We spiritualise our greed for 
power.. But what are we to 
do? How much .are'Chris¬ 
tians supposed tomanipulaie 
to get their own way? 

T he nadir of the gospel 
stories is very much 
about Jesus not getting 
His own way. If we were to 
foDow Christ's example^ we 
would have to put all self 
interest aside, and we know 
that is not realistic. We are 
created selfish creatures, and 
it seems that .we. need to be 
selfish to survive. 

Upon reflection. I think 
that it is good that the 
bishops devoted most of their 


time to working out a way 
forward that could accommo¬ 
date and care for the en- 
: trenched opponents of 
women priests as well as the 
bishops eager to ordain 
women. 

It is a sign of hope that foe 
statement was unanimous, 
and that the archbishops and 
others could speak of how 
deeply moving and im¬ 
mensely positive their time 
together had. been. Now. 
instead of foe threat of a 
“church within a church" or 
a mass-exodus, we can look 
forward to working together 
with mutual respect for each 
other, maintaining our indi¬ 
vidual integrity, while , re¬ 
affirming each other as 
fdkxw followers of Christ 
. It dfifes not fed good to give 
away power, and it is irksome 
to have to take into account 
strongly differing points of 
view, but I believe the bish¬ 
ops, foe majority, of whom 
are in- favour of women 
priests, were right to give so 
much thought to foose who 
cannot go along with foe 
majority. Perhaps weydll see 
Jesus getting His own way 
after alt

for chid sex offenders in the 
hope that he could eventually 
be reunited with his family.' 
Judge Nina Lowiy said the 
eight-year-old child’s best 
chance of coping with the 
emotional stress of her ordeal 
was if the father could be 
treated and eventually re¬ 
turned to die home. .. 

Hie man initially denied the 
allegations hut in Jiify of last 
year wrote to Ks wife and 
daughter admitting what he 
had done.' In a tetter to bis 
rianghtw he said: • “I am 
writing mostly to try to say 
how sony I am. Yon did die 
right , dung, sweetheart, in 
teeing Mummy what 1 had 
done. Never doubt yourself 
For a long time I doubted that 
I could have done this. I have 
let you down and caused you 
much pain. 

“I realise I must be very sick 
inride and that maybe some¬ 
body can help me. I cannot 
find any answers as to why I 
did these things." 

Lari month, he was released 
on bail for assessment by the 
GraceweD clinic in Birming¬ 
ham, the only dime in the 
country that treats men who 
have abused young members 
of their family. Charles Fortt, 
the dink’s manager, said the 
man’s wife had been dosely 
involved in his assessment and 
wanted him to return home 
despite his admission that he 


had-' raped their daughter, 
while she was out at a party. 

.“She is committed to foe 
marriage and wishes it to 
eontipiJg- She wishes her hus¬ 
band to continue therapy and 
foe children are anxious for 
their father to ai some stage in 
the foture be returned to foe 
family unit," he said. 

The man was gwen'a 12- 
month probation order and 
ordered to attend foe dink for 
a further 12 months. The 
judge said she had tried to 
take foe family, especially foe 
daughter, into consideration. 
She said: .“If after lime has 

£?tte chfldnafahd evrnfor 
foe 1 family to be reunited, this 
will, help your daughter - to 
cope with her emotenal prob¬ 
lems she is bound to suffer." 

Kevin Barrett, policy adviser 
forthe National Society for the 
PrevKjtionbfCrudtytoChildr 
ren, said after the hearing that 
cases' of foefather eventually 
'returning to foe home of foe 
abused dhild were not uncom¬ 
mon. "It would only be done 
after careful assessment of foe 
indivkhia] child, the abuser 

awrt family rir mm stit m c&i,* ’ Yk* 

said. “The abuser must be 
deemed treatable and the 
child is wining.'* 

Mothers were often keen to 
see then husbands back home 
for finandal reasons and to 
lessen foe stigma. He added 
that treatment programmes of 
child abusers were too new to 
be fuDy assessed, although in 
certain cases they had been 
successful "The danger is that 
research shows that people 
who are abusing their own 
children are almost always 
abusing otter children as 
wdL"

THE Archibald Thorhum Museum

only 40 to 50 watercolours, prints 
and other artifacts win remain. 

John Southern, the museum own¬ 
er, said: “My family and I hope that 
many public spirited buyers will 
wish to continue oar long tradition 
of sharing our pictures with foe 


public by loaning some of theirs to 
the gaDeiy. 1 ’ Art market experts 
believe; however, that such altruism 
will be far from foe minds of foe 
sporting enthusiasts eager to buy. 

“They are spectacular, wonderful 
pictures of game birds.’* Simon 
Taylor, of Sotheby’s, said. Of partic¬ 


ular interest wfll be The Monarch of 
the Glen, estimated at £35,000 to 
£50.000: and The Close of a

Labourer’s son heads 
field as Danes seek 
successor to Schluter 

From Christopher Follett in Copenhagen 


FOUL Nyrup Rasmussen. 
head of die opposition Social 
Democrats, last night accept¬ 
ed the task of leading talks on 
forming the basis for a new 
Danish government after the 
abrupt resignation of Pool 
Schluter. the outgoing Conser¬ 
vative prime minister, over a 
political scandal 
During a round of political 
consultations with Queen 
Margrethe at the baroque 
royal palace of Amalienborg 
in central Copenhagen. lead¬ 
ers of parties malong up a 
majority in die 179-member 
Folketing (parliament) yester¬ 
day afternoon recommended 
the appointment of Mr Ras¬ 
mussen, 49. to broker talks on 
a new government 
Mr Rasmussen received the 
support of his own Social 
Democrats, die Radical Liber¬ 
als, the Centre Democrats, 
and the Socialist People's par¬ 
ty, groupings commanding 
93 seats in parliament 
The Conservative-Liberal 
government's candidate. 
Henning Dyremose. the 
present minister of finance, 
was supported by the Conser¬ 


vatives. the Liberals, the Chris¬ 
tian People’s Party and the 
Progress Party, commanding 
a combination of 86 parlia¬ 
mentary mandates. 

The recommendation puts 
Mr Rasmussen, son of a 
Jutland labourer and a clean¬ 
ing lady, in a strong position 
to become the next prime 
minister of Denmark, return¬ 
ing his party to power after ten 
years in opposition. 

Mr Rasmussen, the new 
Social Democrat leader, elect¬ 
ed last April could, commenta¬ 
tors say. set up a minority 
government based, on die par¬ 
liamentary support of the 
small centrist Radical Liberal 
Party and the Socialist Peo¬ 
ple's Party. The Soda! Demo¬ 
crats have 69 seats in die 1'79- 
member parliament com¬ 
pared to the ruling Conser¬ 
vative-Liberal coalition's 
combined 59. 

Mr Schluter. 63. formally 
handed his resignation to die 
queen in the early afternoon. 
He was toppled by a long- 
simmering scandal on the 
treatment of Tamil refugee 
families just two weeks after 


Copenhagen took over the 

rotating presidency of the 
European Community: He 
said he would continue as 
caretaker leader until the polit¬ 
ical crisis was resolvcd- 

Talks on a new government 
could take several days. Mr 
Schluter favours a continued 
minority coalition by his Con¬ 
servative party and his liberal 
allies to be led by Mr 
Dyremose. 

Apart bom the six-month 
EC presidency, Denmark 
faces a new referendum on the 
Maastricht treaty on doser 
European union in the spring. 
Mr Schluter has said he hopes 
the vote will not be delayed 
and has suggested April 27 as 
a referendum date. 

“1 do not think that this 
need have a major effect on 
Denmark’s running of the 
presidency," said Ivar 
NoTgaard, a member of die 
Social Democratic Party, who 
chairs the powerful parlia¬ 
mentary European affairs 
committee which steers Dan¬ 
ish polity in Brussels.

AS HEAD of the Gambiao

amassed nrimons of dollars, 
but nine months after the 
“Dapper Don” was sentenced 
to fife:in prison fin 1 racketeer¬ 
ing and maiden federal pros¬ 
ecutors have been unable'to 
find, let alone confiscate, his 
flugotten^ins. . . 

The one thing Gotti never 

tried to hide was himselL and 

the Don's favourite hangouts 
—bare, dobs and restau ran ts 
where he and Ms associates 
would assemble for the pur¬ 
pose. of conspicuous con¬ 
sumption —have become 
local landmarks in New Yoric 
so the gover n ment has decid¬ 
ed to confiscate them. . • 

Federal prosecutors 1 gave 
notice m a Brooklyn court on 
ThursdayThat duty intend to 
seize, most of die mobster's 
known haunts on the ground 
tint titer were “us«i to facili¬ 
tate tbe numerous and varied

Gambmo family”. The dan’s 
p rincipal headquarters has 
kmg been die Bergjn Hunt 
ana Fish Qub on tbe family's 

home territory of Queens;' 
where the Don was in the 
habit of bolding vast illegal 
fireworks displays for col¬ 
leagues and neighbours. 

Until his arrest, the “Capo” 
could usually be found there, 
resplendent in expensive if 


vulgar suits and surrounded 

by admirers, bodyguards, and 

fatteri y lawyers. If tbe govern- 
mart case is upheld, this and 
two other cfahs- along with 

four alleged gambling dens

confiscated and sold. . •

Boris Yeltsin offered security 
guarantees to Kiev, inducting

may not be reassured, in view 
of tbe wish of many Russian 
nationalists to bring Ukraine 
back into a dose Slavic union. 

Mr Yeltsin also agreed that 
Russia would supply Ukraine 
with five million extra tonnes 
of oil at subsidised prices, on

THE BALKANS 9 


MARCASP1AHD 



Ark Royal readies 
for the Adriatic 

From Bill Fronton board the hms ark royal 


IN A force-nine gale, a Sea 
Harrier made a perfect touch¬ 
down on board the aircraft 
earner Ark Royal in mid- 
Channel yesterday as it made 
final preparations to leave for 
the Adriatic. Despite the wea¬ 
ther conditions, seven more 
planes made inch-perfect 
landings over the nest half 
hour. 

Minutes later gunners test¬ 
ed die vessel’s anti-aircraft 
defences — firing off hun¬ 
dreds of rounds into the mist 
and swefl. Loral shipping had 
been warned to steer dear of 
the area off the Dorset coast 
while the Ark Royal made 
ready to lead its task group to 
support British troops m 


Deckhands: crew grading a Harrier jump jet. oh to the deck of the Aik. Royal in the English Channel as the aircraft carrier prepared for duty in the Adriatic 


The carrier also took ddiv- 
eiy of eight Sea King helicop¬ 
ters yesterday. Their crews — 
known as “The Jungties” — 
wfll ferry reinforcements into 
Bosnia or lift out casualties. 

While Ark Royal pitched in 
the gale. Harrier pilots were 
tokl of the mock raids they are 
to mount on the carrier over 
the next day or so. The 
exercise is aimed at sharpen¬ 
ing their combat skills and the 
reaction time of the ship's 
gunners. 

lieutenant lam Reid said 
the pilots were trained and 


ready to strike against any of 
the warring parties who 
threatened British troops in 
Bosnia. 

However, despite his readi¬ 
ness to fight. Lt Reid was 
troubled by Western involve¬ 
ment in the war. “It seems to 
be a pointless bloody feud 
that’s turning into another 
Vietnam. I for one would not 
want to die in a war that no 
one understands.” he said. 

Captain Jeremy Blacfcham, 
commanding officer of the 
Ark Royal, was more guarded. 
“1 think people are pleased to 
be doing something rather 
than just taking part in exer¬ 
cises.” he said. 

There are 75 Wrens on 
board Ark Royal. Sub-Lt Gail 
Atflam. 24. had no doubts 
about the task group's mis¬ 
sion. “It’s not our war. but if 
our forces come under heavy 
fire it’s our duty to get them 
out,” she said. 

Leading Wren Stephanie 
Hollas yesterday celebrated 
her 24 th birthday on board 
Ark Royal She had hoped to 
get married next April before 
hearing that she was to join 
the carrier as a meteorologi¬ 
cal observer “The wedding is 
looking a bit dodgy now. 
because who knows when we 
win be bade.” 



at a critical stage 
of peace negotiations 


By Martin Fletcher 
and Eve-Ann Prentice 

THE West's struggle to quell 
foe conflict in former Yugosla¬ 
via reacted a critical point last 
night with the future of Cyrns 
Vance in foe peace process in 
doubt and America openly 
criticising Britain-and. France 
for delays in enforcing foe no- 
"fly zone over Bosnia. 

The uncertainty about Mr 
Vance comes as foe self-styled 
B osnian Serb parliament is 
about to discuss a foreepoint 
peace plan in foeshadow of an 
EC-imposed deadline. At. 
though Mr Vance, 75, denied 
he was to resign as co-chair¬ 
man with Lora Owen of the 
Yugoslav peace conference 
based in Geneva, the denial 
was couched in terms that 
in d icated he may not be 
involved In foe peace process 
for much longer. 

A spokesman for the former 
Secretary of State. Fred 
Eckhard, said Mr Vance had 
made it dearwfaen he took on 
foe job last September foal 
responsibilities in America 
meamt he could not give it an 
“open-ended commitmenT. 

The Bush administration 
meanwhile criticised Britain 
and France for weeks of delay 
in agreeing a new UN Sec¬ 
urity Council resolution, to 
enforce foe no-fly zone over 
Bosnia. 

Lawrence Eagleburger, the 
Secretary of State, said that the 
allies’ response had been less 
muscular than he had hoped, 
and that their foot-dragging 
had undermined foe West’s 
stem warnings to the Serbs 
not to cany the conflict into 
Kosovo, a move that could 
trigger a Balkan-wide war. 

Failure to enforce the no-fly 
zone bad made dear to aU 
participants in foe conflict 
“what two years of history 
already should have told 


■ America has attacked Britain and ‘ 
France for delay in enforcing the no-fly zone 


them, which is thatthere is no 
consensus, no community of 
view in foe security council or 
in foe West on how to deal 
with foe Yugoslav problem,” 
Mr Eagleburger told reporters 
accompanying him back from 
his visa to Paris. 

• “We’ll get (the resolution) 
sooner or later but there is a 
good bit of concern, particu- 
laidyoa the part of foeBritidl 
^nd it has gone mudrriawer 
than 1 would like.” Mr 
Eagkbuxger said, adding that 
differences also peisisted with 
theFrench.“I must tdl you, in 
njy judgment; to a great 
degree having dithered as 


bit of foe impact already of any 
resolution-” 

Mr Eagleburger said Mus¬ 
lim states were asking why the 
West was willing this week to 
take military action to enforce 
the Iraqi “no fly zones”, but 
not to do foe same in Bosnia. 

The Bosnian no-fly zone 
was established by UN resolu¬ 
tion last October. After persis¬ 
tent violations by Serbian 



Vance: eariy warning 
of other commitments 


aircraft, the alfies began con¬ 
sultations on a second resolu¬ 
tion to approve foe zone^t 
enforcement by military 
means, and at Camp David in 
mid -December President 
Bush and John Major an¬ 
nounced they had agreed in 
principle od the needforsuch, 
a resolution. *■" 

The completion of in. draft 
text has :: be»i -beld up’ itivfer 
since by British and French 
concerns that foe zone's mili 
taiy enforcement should in no 
way jeopardise their troops on 
foe ground in Bosnia, or foe 
humanitarian relief opera¬ 
tions those troops were prole 
cting. 

Sources said yesterday that 
differences remained in three 
key areas, but they were much 
smaller than they had been 
and a resolution could be 
brought before the security, 
council soon after the self- 
styled Bosnian parliament 
considers foe Geneva peace 
plan next Tuesday. 

Britain and France are both 
holding out for a 30-day 
period before the enforcement 
began so foe necessary prepa¬ 
rations could be made. The 
Americans want a much 
shorter delay. 

The French in particular 
want foe UN inserted into the. 
chain of command so that it. 
could veto any military action 
that might endanger foe UN 
forces protecting international 
relief efforts in Bosnia. Wash¬ 
ington wants the enforcement 
to be purely a Nato openatipn. 

Nor have the three allies yet 
agreed among themselves 
how to proceed with enforce¬ 
ment. though foe resolution 
may fudge that issue. 



Stewart condemned 
“coldblooded” murder 

Colonel 

orders 

enquiry 

ByAdamLeBor 

■THE cammandpig officer of 
^foe Chefoire: regunehr has 
demanded that rival Croat 
and Muslim commanders 
.open a murder enquiry after 
the death this week of a British 
soldier in Bosnia. 

• Lance Corporal Wayne Ed¬ 
wards, the first British service¬ 
man to be killed in Bosnia, 
was caught in a battle between 
previously allied Croat and 
Muslim forces in foe town of 
Gomp Vakuf He had been 
driving a Warrior armoured 
vehicle escorting a civilian 
vehicle through foe battle- 
zone. 

lieutenant Colonel Bob 
Stewart said: “This is cold¬ 
blooded murder and there will 
be a murder investigation. 
Lance Corporal Edwards was 
a UN soldier, and we want foe 
person responsible brought to 
triaL” Col Stewart added that 
foe Mustiro and Croat com¬ 
manders had both said they 
would help in an invest¬ 
igation. 

Although the past week has 
been foe most difficult yet for 
foe 2,400-strong British force 
here, it is foe fust death of a 
British soldier that has 
-brought: home to the United 
Nations contingent in central 
Bosnia the real dangers of 
their mission. Attention had 
focused on foe dangers posed 
by Serb forces. 


Death haunts Fojnica’s cold corridors 


From Adam LeBor in fojnica. central bosnia 


DEATH is die most regular 
visitor at the Institute for the 
Mentally IH and Retarded in 
Fbjmca, riaimmg its victims 
with ease. Since foe start of 
file Bosnian war last April 
m ore than 150 patients have 
died — not from shelling, or 
sniping , but from cold, hun¬ 
ger and malnutrition. 

The institute, home to 900 
patients, bardy survives on a 
fragile lifeline from aid agen¬ 
cies. “Without their help we 
would have nothing and ev¬ 
eryone would have died, but 


stiB the situation is unbear¬ 
able,” said Kadira Pasic. the 
director. 

“Two patients have died 
this week. We were hungry for 

three months and the ekleriy 
are stiB dying or on th e poin t 
of death. They cannot survive 
on bread and relief aid with¬ 
out fresh food and vitamins."

Nestling in a narrow valley, 
a beautiful landscape of 
snowtopped bills and stark 
trees stripped bare by winter; 
foe institute has so far es¬ 
caped ghrfHng . Fojnica is out 
of range of foe nearest Serb 
frontline position outside Sa¬ 
rajevo, but foe war is still 
exacting a heavy toIL 

The rooms and corridors 
are spotlessly dean, but in¬ 
side the smell of hu man 
CTe rEmgfl t teffifis in tile air. 

Many patients are bedridden, 

with sheets that need to be 
changed every hour, bu t foe 
laundry only worics at part 
ca pac i t y. “We are working in 
the most primitive way, heat¬ 
ing rooms by burning wood, 
which we would never have 
thought of before the war,” 
said foe director. 

Many of the patients are 
children who hare not seen 


their parents for months. The 
institute took them in from afl 
over the former Yugoslavia: 
one of the hist places where 
Bosnians, Croats, Serbs and 

Macedonians stiB live togeth¬ 
er in harmony. 

But now the patients’ fam¬ 
ilies are cat off by foe war. 
unable to cross the front line 
and negotiate their way 
through foe myriad of check¬ 
points that litter Bosnia. 
Their children sit alone, star 1 
mg at the walls and wonder¬ 
ing wfiy nobody comes to see 
them anymore. For many of 
them foe war is beyond their 
comprehension. United Na¬ 
tions sources say that refief 
groups are supplying as much 
aid as possible to the insti¬ 
tute, but one answer would be 
for a Western charity'to adopt 
ft. 

Yelena, 19, a mentally 
handi capped girl, is from 
Sarajevo. Die Bosnian capital 
is just 30 miles away, but 
surrounded by Serbs besieg¬ 
ing ft the city may as wdJ be 
3^000 miles away and she has 
not seen her parents since last 
AjniL When a nurse mentions 
her mother's name her face 


again. “It’s not just people 
but also places like this that 
are being billed. We are 
forgotten,” said Ms Pasic. 
“Some people say that foe 

mentally handicapped are 

better off dead in this war but 
I’ve been working here for 23 
years and 1 fed these children 
are my own,” she said as she 
cuddled a young boy. 

The struggling staff do their 
best to keep foe patients 
dean, dothed and fed while 


ness, but then quickly 


attention as they can. Mental¬ 
ly handicapped children in 
one room smile, fink hands 
and break into song as we 
enter, excited at the presence 
of any new visitors. 

“We get by and tiy and keep 
op the necessary levels of 
cleanliness but ft’s very diffi¬ 
cult,” said nurse 7dpnka 
jbvtic. ’There are no medi¬ 
cines, and no fuB-time psydu- 
atrists and we fear the war 
will come here.” 

And that is the institute’s 
ultimate ni gh imam . There is 
no proper shelter on the site, 
although the basement might 
provide some temporary re¬ 
spite from sheflmg. For the 
patients at Fojitica there is 
nowhere left to hide. 


Alarm over British troops’ escort role 


THE doubling of Britain's 
forces in foe Balkans has 
raised alarm bells in the 
Commons over the extent to 
which British troops might be 
dragged into foe dvil war. 

The fear remains despite of 
repeated pledges from foe 
government that the role of 
the hoops — escorting United 
Nations humanitarian relief 
convoys—will be unchanged. 
Malcolm Rifkind. the defence 
secretary, announced foe 
troop reinforcements on 
Thursday, saying: “These 
forces wfll not be used to 
intervene in the fighting be¬ 
tween rival factions. It re¬ 
mains our position that it is 
not appropriate to intervene in 
what is essentially a civil war.” 

There would appear to be 
no going back on that state¬ 
ment which was made with 
clarity by the defence secretary 
both inthe Commons and at a 
later' press conference. The 
conclusion to be drawn is that 
if the fighting seriously deteri¬ 
orates and foe British forces 


MPs are concerned that the British forces 
will inevitably get dragged into a full-scale 
dvil war in Bosnia, Michael Evans writes 


become sitting ducks, theywiD 
be withdrawn. 

However, evacuation only 
seems likety if foe dvil war 
suddenly develops into a full 
scale coordinated attack by 
one side against foe other. So 
far. the fighting has bee spo¬ 
radic and none of foe warring 
factions has shown any talent 
for coordinating a broad in¬ 
fantry and artillery attack. 
This failure is illustrated by the 
shape of the Serbian front line 
which is now just a series of 
blobs. The portions are diffi¬ 
cult to defend and signs are 
that the Serbs are running out 
of steam. 

The goveimnenfs decision 
to send reinforcements came 
as official assessments of the 
war in Bosnia paint an in¬ 
creasingly gloomy picture of 


likety developments. Yesterday 
was the deadline set by the 
Islamic conference after which 
member countries have threat¬ 
ened to send aims to the 
Muslim fighters in Bosnia. 

There is now a serious 
possibility that heavy and light 
artillery could be shipped in 
clandestinely, probably over 
foe mountainous route from 
Albania, to provide foe Mus¬ 
lims with a real fighting 
capability. One Western diplo¬ 
matic source said: “The Mus¬ 
lims are beginning to fee! in 
the ascendancy. They are 
strong in manpower and if 
they get foe arms they want, 
they will fry to regain .foe_ 
ground they have lost to the~ 
Bosnian Serbs. The Serbs are 
now seriously stretched while 
the Muslims believe there is 


still fighting to be done." 

There is also concern that if 
a peace agreement is signed, 
based on the plan by Lord 
Owen and Cyrus Vance, the 
negotiators at foe Geneva 
talks, foe result could lead to 
further violence. The proposed 
division of Bosnia into ten 
autonomous regions wfll cre¬ 
ate arbitrary frontiers. 

The long-term game plan of 
Radovan Karadzic, the Bosni¬ 
an Serb leader, and more 
particulariy of Slobodan 
Milosevic, the Serbian presi¬ 
dent pose even greater dan¬ 
gers. if British forces remain in 
Bosnia for any length of time. 
Western officials axe con¬ 
vinced that Mr Milosevic will 
not dump Dr Karadzic. They 
believe that his appearance at 
the Geneva peace talks earlier 
this week was part of a private 
agreement with foe Bosnian 
Serb 1 leader, to advance foe 
cause of a greater Serbia by 
pledging intervention by Bel¬ 
grade forces at foe right 
moment

Baghdad ignores UN 
deadline as 350 
troops land in Kuwait 


By James Bone and 
Christopher Walker 

A NEW confrontation be¬ 
tween the United Nations and 
Iraq was developing last night 
as Baghdad appeared to ig¬ 
nore trie latest UN deadline to 
remove six Iraqi police posts 
on the Kuwaiti side of the 
newly demarcated border. 
The stance coincided with the 
arrival in Kuwait of combat- 
ready American ground 
troops. 

Kuwait told the security 
council that Iraq had rein¬ 
forced the posts on territory 
newly awarded to Kuwait in 
Umm Qasr, but UN sources 
said that the size of the Iraqi 
presence had not been in¬

Iraqis shrug off 
allied bombings 

From Richard Beeston in Baghdad 


WHEN President Saddam 
Hussein looks out from his 
presidential compound across 
the muddy waters of the Tigris 
and surveys the busy streets of 
Baghdad, he can rightly claim 
to be as securely in power 
today as he was before the first 
bombs of the allied offensive 
fell on the capital exactly two 
years ago this weekend- 

Although Saddam faces the 
threat of a new' military show¬ 
down with the coalition forces 
and the possibility of a fresh 
diplomatic confrontation with 
the United Nations, his power 
base remains secure and at¬ 
tempts at destabilising his 
regime seem almost self-de¬ 
feating. There is little indica¬ 
tion in the Iraqi capital that 
renewed hostilities will have 
much effect on either his 
military strength or his ability 
to stay in power. Iraqi claims, 
confirmed by some Western 
defence officials, that Wednes¬ 
day’s air strike failed to knock 
out most of the anti-aircraft 
missile targets in southern 
Iraq, combined with television 
pictures showing civilians in¬ 
jured in the raids, have only 
served to confirm the impres¬ 
sion among Iraqis that their 
leader, who emerged un¬ 
scathed from the disastrous 
eight-year war with Iran, is as 
unshakeable as ever. 

“It is clear to all the Iraqi 
people that the air attack on 
Wednesday was simply Bush 


trying to have the final word." 
said one senior Iraqi official 
who used an almost conde¬ 
scending tone when describ¬ 
ing the outgoing American 
leader. “We hope that matters 
will improve with Clinton; he 
seems to be more reasonable. 
The trouble with Bush was 
that he took it all so per¬ 
sonally.” 

There is a new-found confi¬ 
dence among members of the 
Iraqi ruling establishment In 
the aftermath of the Gulf war 
there were real fears that the 
coalition forces would either 
invade Iraq and topple 
Saddam or destroy the Iraqi 
militaiy and encourage Kurd¬ 
ish and Shia Muslim opposi¬ 
tion groups to oust the ruling 
Baathist regime. 

Today in Baghdad, howev¬ 
er. there are few signs that 
Saddam's tenure is under 
threat. Iraqi contempt for the 
allies' attacks was brought 
home on a visit to the capital's 
main markets yesterday 
where thousands of shoppers 
ignored the warnings of im¬ 
pending war and concentrat¬ 
ed instead on stretching their 
meagre earnings to cover the 
sharply rising cost of basic 
foodstuffs. 

Some displayed even great¬ 
er sang froid by spending the 
day at Baghdad's popular race 
track, where talking politics 
has long been considered bad 
form. 


hours before the emotive sec¬ 
ond anniversary of the launch 
of Operation Desert Storm. 

On board the carrier in die 
Gulf, the USS Kitty Hawk, 
crew members prepared new 
guided bombs as the Bush 
administration stud that it 
could strike again. Red-shirted 
crew prepared l,000[b and 
2.0001b “smart” bombs in a 

r ' ig area next to die mess 
Senior officers said the 
assembly work began at mid¬ 
night on Thursday. 

Planes from the carrier 
played a leading part in 
Wednesday's attack. Com¬ 
mander Jeff Nickeri. the man 
in charge of the bomb assem¬ 
bly team told reporters operat¬ 
ing under Pentagon restric¬ 
tions that his men had 
received a list of what was 
"needed in contingencies". 

The first of more than 1.100 
American soldiers due in the 
emirate, most from the US 
Array's First Cavalry Division, 
arrived yesterday afternoon in 
what officials termed a show of 
resolve as Baghdad continued 
to pledge that it would retali¬ 
ate against the imposition of 
no-fly zones in the north and 
south. The 350 helmeted 
troops, whose armour was 
already stored in place on the 
ground in Kuwait are due to 
conduct manoeuvres near the 
disputed lraqi-Kuwait border. 
Diplomats said their stay was 
open-ended, allowing the pos-. 
sibility that they could be 
deployed in the event of fur¬ 
ther Iraqi nangressions. 

Iraq television yesterday 
quoted a militaiy spokesman 
as claiming that its air de¬ 
fences had chased off a war¬ 
plane patrolling a Western- 
imposed no-fly zone in the 
south, having claimed on 
Thursday that its ground de¬ 
fences had seen off two West¬ 
ern warplanes in the northern 
exclusion zone. 

"At 04.30 today our air 
defences continued their hero¬ 
ic confrontation of a hostile 
aerial target and forced it to 
flee." the spokesman said. He 
did not state whether anti¬ 
aircraft guns or missiles had 
been fired in the incident 
which took place close to the 
southern port of Basra. 

Arab diplomatic sources 
said that President Saddam 
Hussein had been encouraged 
by widespread Arab and Is¬ 
lamic opposition to Wednes¬ 
day’s attack, condemned as a 
blatant example of Western 
double standards because of 
the failure to take a similar 
stand against Serbian or Is¬ 
raeli transgressions.

Diary, page 14 


From Martin Fletcher • 

. IN WASHINGTON 

BILL Climon, die president¬ 
elect. was on the defensive 
on several fronts yesterday 
as he prepared to leave- 
Arkansas for. his inaugura¬ 
tion m Washington- ' 

' .He remains popular with 
the puttie, but bis strong 
standing among, the Ameri¬ 
can media .already appears 
to have 'disappeared; yester¬ 
day's papers'’ carried one 
disparaging'' • report afte r 
another about his retreat 
from campaign promises. 
Public. watchdog organ¬ 
isations criticised the. fact 
that his inauguration was 
being underwritten by die 
big corporations whose in¬ 
fluence Mi* Clinton had 
p l ed ged to eliminate and a 
drip-drip of embarrassing 
disclosures continued 
unabated. 

According to The - New 
York Times. AJ Gore, who 
was such an electoral boost 
to Mr Clinton, saw most of 
his advice on senior a dminis ¬ 
tration appointments ig¬ 
nored and has now been told 
to expect an even smaller 
role as vice-president, - 

The Wafi Street Journal 
reported that Hillary Clin¬ 
ton. to the annoyance of 
some Clinton aides, may 
have an office in the West 
Wing of the White House, 
the real power centre, not in 
die East Wing where the 
president's wife normally 
nistdes... • . • 

- But it is Mr Clinton's 
retreat from numerous cam¬ 
paign (fledges that has at¬ 
tracted most adverse com¬ 
ment and not just from 
natural critics. "This week 
has been a clatter of cam¬ 
paign promises being tossed 
out of thewindow.” observed 
Daniel Moymban, a senior 
Democratic senator. . 

Thursday afternoon's 
press conference to an? 
□ounce the White House 1 
staff was dominated fay ques¬ 
tions about his apparent U- 
turns, prompting flashes of 
anger -from the president¬ 
elect and the conference's 
abrupt termination. He in¬ 
sisted he should be judged by 
progress on the “big things” 
he campaigned for, such as 
health care reform and cuts 
iritbe national deficit Amer¬ 
icans would, think him fool¬ 
ish if he did not adapt his 
programme to changed cnv. 
cumstanc^ primarily great¬ 
er-tban-expected deficit 
projections. 

Several newspaper yester¬ 
day reprinted the-actual 
Words of Mr Clin ton’s cam¬ 
paign promises, and Repub¬ 
licans, crowed, recalling how: 
President Bush had repeat¬ 
edly attacked Mr Clinton on 
die hustings as a “woffler". A 
new poll yesterday showed 
58 per cent of respondents 
believed that Mr Clinton had 
broken campaign promises, 
but 71 per cent nevertheless 
thought favourably of him 
and only 70 • per cent 
unfavourably. . . 


Giza sands reveal 
hidden pyramid 

From Christopher Walker in Cairo 


EGYPTIAN excavators have 
unearthed the remains of a 
mysterious new pyramid, a 
few feet from the Great Pyra¬ 
mid of the pharaoh Cheops, 
which some experts believe 
may have been built to ensure 
that his soul would live forev¬ 
er. The surprise discoveiy, at 
Giza on the outskirts of Gum 
brings to 96 the number of 
known pyramids in Egypt. 

“It indicates that all die 
secrets of the pharaohs’ im¬ 
mortal civilisation have not 
yet been completely re¬ 
vealed.” said Ibrahim Bakr. 
chairman of the Egyptian 
Antiquities Organisation. 

The • discoveiy was a 
shock”, explained Zawi Haw- 
ass. general director of antiq¬ 
uities for the pyramids and 
sphinx. 

Three rows of massive 
{flocks are today all that is left 
of the shape of the newly 
discovered small or “cult” 
pyramid which is estimated to 
have once stood 42ft high on a 
400-square-metre base and 
beat used for rituals connect¬ 
ed with the pharaohs. 

Ruins of the interior consist 
of no more than a small ramp 
leading to a burial chamber 
Scores of building blocks have 
been dug up from sand and 
rocky debris beside the base 
which is sited al the south¬ 
eastern side of the plateau 
faring both Cheops's pyramid 
and those of his three queens. 

"The discoveiy will greatly 
assist os m toe interpretation 
of the Giza plateau and the 
history of King Cheops." said 
another Egyptologist. In an¬ 
cient times, as now. the small 
pyramid was dwarfed fay the 
Great Pyramid of Cheops 
winch stands 445 ft. 

Mr Hawass said there was 
evidence that Cheops’s archi¬ 


tects had planned to put the 
cuh pyramid elsewhere. They 
changed their mind when 
they discovered tbe pyramid 
would stand in the way of a 
huge rampway for dragging 
massive building blocks up to 
the unfinished . Great 
-Pyramid. 

The find has sparked a 
heated debate about tbe actu¬ 
al Junction of such cult pyra¬ 
mids. Some scholars main¬ 
tain that they were built to 
serve as a conduit for the 
king's soul to exit and to 
accept gifts from believers. 
Other theories suggest that 
the small pyramids were con-

strutted to bold tbe bodily 
org an s of the pharaoh, or to 
keep the crowns of Lower and 
Upper Egypt as a sign of his 
Itin^hip. or even as a place of 
a ceremony of virility, to prove 
the ageing pharaoh remained 

strong enough to rule. 

Mr Hawass believes that 
Cheops’s cult pyramid was 
once used in a ceremony 
marking the completion of his 
Great Pyramid ami the monu¬ 
ments around it After Cheops 
died.' priests are believed to 
have left offerings at the 
newly discovered pyramid to 
keep his name alive forever.

Israellets 
aid reach 
deportees 

‘ From AFP 
IN JERUSALEM 

ISRAEL yesterday agreed to 
Red Cross demands that it 
should allow medicines and 
letters through to the expelled 
Palestinians stranded between 
Israeli and Lebanese control¬ 
led land in southern Lebanon. 

. The Red Cross will also 
bring back nine men who 
were deported in error. This 
week Israel admitted that 16 
Palestinians were expelled by 
mistake previously it had said 
the figure was ten. Last week a 
16-year-old was returned to 
the West Bank and the Red 
Cross took a deportee to hospi¬ 
tal in Israel's sefrdedared sec¬ 
urity zone in southern 
Lebanon. 

Israel b facing a threat of 
United Nations sanctions un¬ 
less it brings back all the 
deportees, who it claims are 
Muslim fundamentalist'lead- 
era and activists. 

“The International Com¬ 
mittee of the Red Cross [1CRC] 
has reached a compromise 
with the authorities which 
allows us to assure minimum 
humanitarian services," said 
Reto Meister, the ICRC chief 
delegate in Israel. An Israeli 
defence ministry spokesman 
said that the Red Cross could 
also “hand out forms to enable 
die Palestinians to appeal 
against their removal before a 
military committee".

tremely low and that 38 men

army has blocked off supplies. 


US flotilla sets out to 
turn back Haitians 


From David Adams in miami 


40,000 Haitians have been 
intercepted at sea. 

Mr Clinton’s announce¬ 
ment on Thursday to main¬ 
tain “for the time being" the 
Bush administration policy of 
summary repatriation of Hai¬ 
tian boat people received a 
mixed response from Haitians 
in toe United States and in 
Haiti’s capital Port-au-Prince. 
There was disappointment, 
but also hope that -Washing¬ 
ton might now be more com¬ 
mitted to restoring to power 
- Father Aristide, the champion 
of Haiti’s poor, who was swept 
to victory ip Haiti's first demo¬ 
cratic elections in 1990. 

Jocelyn McCaJla, of toe 
New York-based National Co¬ 
alition for Haitian Refugees, 
said: “We are shocked arid dis¬ 
mayed that President-elect 
Clinton would go back on his 
word.” A United Nations 
team led by Dante Caputo, a 
former Argentine foreign 
minister, has arrived in Haiti 
seeking agreement from Hai- 
. til's military for a multinational 
human rights observer force to 


AMERICAN Coast Guard 
cutters and nayy.vessds are on 
their way to the Caribbean to 
turn back a potential exodus of 
refugees in flimsy boats fleeing 
the political violence and ex¬ 
treme poverty of Haiti. 

The announcement came a 
day after B31 Clinton, toe 
president-elect, reversed . an 
election campaign pledge to 
allow Haitian boat people to 
enter tbe United States to 
request political asylum. US 
officials fear the news may 
have come too late to prevent 
many from setting sail 

Admiral William. Kime, of 
tbe US Coast Guard, said toe 
operation was a precautionary 
measure “to save the lives of 
mem woinen and children 
[who] might be ill advised to 
leave Haiti at this time”. The 
Coast Guard is deploying at 
least 12 large cutters and 12 
aircraft and helicopters to 
patrol international waters. At 
least five US navy vessels are 
also being sent to the area. 

Admiral Kime said toe op-. 
eration had been approved by 
both the Bush administration 
and the Clinton transition 
team. He said that US intefli- 
gence reports had indicated 
that as many as 200,000 
Haitians could be preparing 
to leave'Haiti, heading for 
south Florida. All refugee 
boats would be directed “to 
return to Haiti”. If they foiled 
to do so, Admiral Kime said, 
the boat people would be 
transferred to Coast Guard 
cutters and repatriated. 

The Coast Guard has al¬ 
ready picked up more than 
1.000 Haitian refugees this 
month, and 176 were inter¬ 
cepted on board two vessels On 
Thursday night; Since Presi¬ 
dent Aristide was ousted in

Aid worker shot dead 



todi 


sign pact 


By Eve-Ann Prentice, diplomatic correspondent 


SOMALIA'S waning factions 
yesterday signed a pact to 
disarm, their militias and-end 
the fighting which has seen at 
least 300,000 people die from 
war and starvation. 

Few Western diplomats. 
United Nations officials or 
Somalis believe, however, that 
die ceasefire will hold. The 
accord was signed tty. rival 
warlords Ali Mahdi Muham¬ 
mad and Muhammad Farrah 
Aidid. hours after a Swiss Red 
Cross worker was shot dead in 
the southern town of Baidera. 
General Aidid told the dos- 
session of the talks in 
Ababa, the Ethiopian 
capital: “Somalia is not going 
to go on fighting. There will be 
no factional fighting and we 
shall try to resolve our differ¬ 
ences through dialogue.” 
However, the talks almost 
collapsed several times when 
he refused to attend a national 
reconciliation conference, 
planned for March 15. on an 
equal footing with his rivals. 
General Aidid wants his status 
to reflect the lay role his

militias played in overthrow¬ 
ing Mohamed Siad Bane in 
January. It was still undear 
yesterday whether the confer¬ 
ence would proceed. 

Under the new accord, the 
factions will send their men to 
camps on the outskirts of large 
towns. The deal calls for their 
heavy arms to be placed under 
control of the American-led 
military force in Som alia. 

The Swiss Red Cross ad¬ 
ministrator killed'in Baidera 
on" Thursday was named as 
Kurt Lustenberger, 32, of 
Lucerne. He was shot in the 
head when three Somalis 
burst into Red Cross living 
quarters and demanded 
money. He had been in Soma¬ 
lia for one month and was the 
second aid worker to be lolled 
since American troops arrived 
on December 9.

worker, described the wretch¬ 
edness and danger of life in 
Somalia. A nurse and student

Strike aims 
to topple 
Mobutu 

From Reuter 
IN KINSHASA. 

HEAVILY armed troops pa¬ 
trolled the deserted streets of 
Zaire’s capital yesterday at the 
start of a general strike called 
by an opposition movement 
bent on legal moves to im¬ 
peach President Mobutu. 

The president was in Mo¬ 
rocco for a 4 8 ~hour visit as the 
campaign to end his 28-year 
reign gathered pace. On 
Thursday night the interim 
parliament, the High Council 
of the Republic, declared the 
president guilty of Ugh trea¬ 
son. It said he would race trial 
in the supreme court unless he 
replied within eight days to 
accusations that he was under¬ 
mining moves towards demo¬ 
cracy inZdire. . ■_ • 

The Sacred Union, a coali¬ 
tion of anti-Mobutii parties, 
called for a one-week cam¬ 
paign of civil disobedience. 
Shops, banks and markets 
were, dosed in Kinshasa. 
Troops, barked by paramili- 
taiy cml guards, stood guard 
at strategic buildings- They 
tore (town street barricades 
erected overnight but by early 
morning no serious incidents 
had been reported. 

The European Commission 
said yesterday that the interim 
government should be free to 
accomplish its mission with¬ 
out the president's interfer¬ 
ence.'Belgium, America and 
France, the three Western 
powers leading efforts to pre¬ 
vent a breakdown of order in 
Zaire, agreed on Thursday to 
help put the economy back on 
the rails if President Mobutu 
did not hinder the move to 
democracy.

to be resumed next month. 
The bilateral meeting, in Cape

Crown Prince Nanririro. 

Japan's favourite bache¬ 
lor and heir to the Chrysan¬ 
themum Throne, who last 
week enchanted the nation 
with news of his en^ge- 
ment to Masako Owada. 
29. was taking part in the 
imperial household’s annu¬ 
al poeoy party. Every year 


the arts and culture divi¬ 
sion of the Imperial House¬ 
hold Agency selects a 
nature-related theme cm 
which tire emperor and his 
family must produce a 30- 
syllaUe.wafaz poem- 
This year's theme is “the 
sky” and. while most mem¬ 
bers of the imperial family 
dutifully applied them¬ 
selves to suitably celestial 

creations, die efforts of the 
Crown Prince, 32. were jud¬ 
ged by spectators to be 
redolent with greater and 
more enticing significance. 
His poem said: “1 gave with

“when I was trying to 
deliver medicines to an area 
outside Ktsmayu, a car full of

Mr W illiams also spoke of 
people starving to death, al¬ 
though food was just feet

in a famine area,” he said. 
“This may seem strange, but 
the markets have plenty of 
food, it is just that people do

Rao pleads 
for end to 
communal 
violence 

FROM Reuter 

IN BOMBAY 

INDIA’S prime minister. 
PV. Narasimha Rao. yester¬ 
day gave a warning that the 
country was in danger of 
breaking apart if communal 
hatred that triggered ten days 
of Hindu-Muslim rioting in 
Bombay was allowed to 
spread. 

“If this country forsakes 
secularism, it will break. I am 
absolutely convinced of that,” 
Mr Rao told reporters after 
touring riot-hit areas of Bom¬ 
bay. where hundreds of shops, 
homes and cars have been set 
ablaze in violence that has left 
at least 500 dead. 

The prime minister. 71, 
said that India had been 
disfigured by recent rioting 
which erupted after the de¬ 
struction of a 16th-century 
mosque by Hindu militants in 
the northern (own of Ayodhya 
last month. 

In Delhi yesterday the ex¬ 
tremist Hindu Bharatiya 
Janata Party announced ‘ a 
national campaign against 
the government, beginning 
with a mass tally next month.

■ The distinction between a mugger 
and a beggar in Manhattan is 
becoming rather blurred 


T he Concise Oxford 
definition of to mug 
is to “thrash; stran¬ 
gle: rob with violence, espe¬ 
cially in a public place”. The 
Webster definition is some¬ 
what less dramatic, but 
nevertheless insists that a 
mugging should involve at 
least some degree of vio¬ 
lence. So whatever hap¬ 
pened to me in West 44th 
Street last month was cer- 
j tainly not a mugging. 

I was walking at S.30pm 
along this somewhat desert¬ 
ed street when a young 
black man in a leather 
jacket blocked my path and 
said in a tense, even frantic, 
voice: “! am unemployed. I 
am desperate. Please give 
me money.” Before 1 had 
decided how to reply, al¬ 
though only a few seconds 
had passed, he had become 
angry. "I'm talking to you.” 
he said with sudden aggres¬ 
sion. “I'm talking to you.” I 
reached into my trouser 
pocket, extracted what 
turned out to be a $10 bill, 
and handed it to him. But 
he was not to be so easily 
placated. He put his hand 
inside his jacket and said: "I 
know you have money in 
your wallet. 1 have a knife. 
Don't make me use it on 

you. Take out _ 

your wallet Give 
me aQ the money Appa 
in it — all of it — 
and there will be you S 
no problem. You 
will go your way. ham 
and I will go .. 

mine." I did as I 
was told. I took 
out my wallet and niuni 

gave him all the u a . 

money it con- a 

rained ($200. un- anVOI 

fortunately; it was J 

Friday and I had asks 

just stocked up 
for the weekend). ~~” 

True to his word, he took 
the money and went on his 
way. I also went on mine, 
feeling perhaps a little shak¬ 
en. but predominantly 
grateful that he had not also 
deprived me of my driving 
licence and credit cards. I 
even began to feel that 1 had 
struck a rather favourable 
bargain. 

But when I have 
described this incident to 
New Yorkers—something 1 
have done with self-indul¬ 
gent frequency — I have 
been astonished and grati¬ 
fied by their reactions Al¬ 
most without exception, 
they have (1) shown bound¬ 
less fascination with every 
detail; (2) insisted, against 
all the evidence, that I have 
been well and truly 
mugged; and (3) congratu¬ 
lated me on my good sense 
in acceding witnour argu¬ 
ment to the young man’s 
demands. “But how do I 
know he had a knife?" I say, 
hoping that someone at 
least will suspect me of 
cowardice. “Oh, you can 
never be too careful." they 
reply. “He was probably a 
crack addict" 

On reflection. I think it 
highly unlikely he was a 
crack addict 1 even doubt if 
he had a weapon. 1 think he 
may well have been just a 
spur-of-the-moment beggar 
who only decided to pose as 
a mugger when he realised 
that He might get more 
money that way. One can

asks for it 


hardly blame him. given the 
conventional wisdom of the 
New York middle dass. 
This states that you should 
always hand over all the 
money you have to anybody 
who asks for it, if he does so 
in an even slighdy menac¬ 
ing way. Further conven¬ 
tional advice concerns 
prevention and damage 
limitation: cross the road if 
you don't like the look of the 
person coming towards you. 
carry only modest amounts 
of money on you. smile 
cheerfully if accosted. 

There are certainly a lot of 
weirdos and desperadoes 
roaming the streets of New 
York with whom it would be 
rash to seek a confrontation. 
But the distinction between 
a mugger and a beggar is 
beginning to become rather 
blurred. There are still beg¬ 
gars who say “God bless 
you, sir” if you hand them a 
quarter. And the advice you 
are generally given is to 
treat all of them — good 
beggars, bad beggars, pho¬ 
ney muggers, real muggers 
— in much the same man¬ 
ner as you are treated by the 
bank’s cash dispenser when 
you demand money from it 
with your plastic card. “Hel¬

frightening than 
For it the incident on 

44th Street, was 
one that hap¬ 
pened to me when I was 

living in Washington DC. I 
was walking down a dark 
and empty street in the 
middle of the city when I 
noticed that a large blade 
man was approaching from I 
the opposite direction. As he ! 
drew nearer. 1 began to 
wonder whether 1 should 
cross the street, but I felt 
ashamed at the thought; he I 
had done nothing wtaatso- I 
ever to arouse suspicion. Bui 
as 1 continued walking in | 
his direction, and he in i 
mine, I found that my heart ! 
was racing. I told myself 
there was no reason for fear, 
and yet my anxiety grew. 
His footsteps grew louder, 
my heart beat still fester, 
until finally we came face to 
face. Then, with great sud¬ 
denness. he waved his arms 
violently in the air. and let 
out a terrifying roar. I 
thought ray heart would 
stop, but he did not even 
pause. He just walked on 
by. chuckling contentedly. 

Feeling not only a ner¬ 
vous wreck but also a com¬ 
plete idiot. 1 took myself 
home and poured myself an 
enormous drink. A long 
time has passed since then, 
but that experience remains 
much more vivid in my 
memory than my recent 
financial transaction in 
midtown Manhattan.

Yorker's 'Talk of the 
Town". 


I t is in the nature of revisionism 
that; at its outset it can be 
depicted as heresy—as I warned 
in my original artide on John 
Charmky’s book Churchill: the End 
of Glory (January 2). And there has 
been not a link personal abuse — 
usually the recourse of those too la ly. 
or too ignorant to make rational 
debate. Let us at least agree that the 
indignation with which a particular 
argument is greeted is normally a 
good measure of its effectiveness. ■ 
My critics are indignant and 
rightly so. at the notion of Britain 
"suing for peace” in May 1940. But 
this J emphatically rejected. As I said, 
it would have been a liquidator's 
audit. And it cannot often enough be 
repeated, that in May 1940 Britain 
was saved by Churchifl’s courage, 
single-mindedness and political skill. 

Who was opposing him? The 
Foreign Office, and its secretary of 
state. Lord Halifax (the pretence of 
proceeding through Mussolini's arbi¬ 
tration was a typical piece of White¬ 
hall “grandmother's footsteps”), a 
substantial body of Conservative 
MPs. the Independent Labour Party, 
all communists (who took their orders 
from Stalin) and their fellow-travel¬ 
lers in tiie unions, and a good 
number of senior dvil servants. These 
were the real appeasers, and there 
were plenty of them. 


Historians who go to 


war 


A distinguished protester on The 
Times Letters page, Lord Gladwyn, 
wrote drat “the very idea [sicj that we 
could have contemplated [acj ... 
such a deal... is repugnant" (Janu¬ 
ary 9). WelL in May 1940 that same 
Lord Gladwyn — at the time whar is 
today called a “fast-streamer" in the 
tivD service — wrote a report on his 
meeting with an Italian diplomat to 
prepare the negotiations. In an 
annexe he added: “Personally I 
should have thought it might be 
advisable ... to try something like 
this .” (My italics). 

I know that the English language 
is a flexible instrument, but here we 
seemed to have moved from an 
“idea" to a “deal", from “contemplat¬ 
ing” to “recommending". 

The main reason that Lord 
Gladwyn claims now to be repelled 
by the idea, he says, is because of the 
Nazi regime’s attitude to “Jews, 
Poles. Russians, gypsies”. Yet there is 



no mention — I mean none — in 
cabinet or committee minutes, or in 
internally am dated policy papers at 
any time before 1943, or in “war 
aims” afterwards, of the plight of 
these unfortunate minorities. 

The sole, consideration was-the 


survival of the British nation state. 
This is whai guided my own estimat¬ 
ion and itwould, I suggest have been 
better served by a stand-off agree¬ 
ment in the spring of 1941. ... 

Of oourae Hitter'S ward,his signa¬ 
ture on a treaty, was valueless. But 
observance of treafy obligations, as 
we still find today, is no more than a 
reSection of the signatories’ national 
interest as they see it at the time. 

In March 1945. Hitler told 
Bormann that “... in the skies over 
Britain she had proved, her valour. 
We bad each of us triumphed over a 
Latin race. What mattered [in 1941] 
was the World balance of Power, not 
the European. Pitt would have seen 
this. Churchill could not.” 

It is incontestable that had the war 
stopped in 1941 Britain would have 
been richer, stronger and more of her 
people would have been alive than 
was the case in 1945. I think we 
could haw insisted on a demilitar¬ 


isation of Norway and t he fa y 
. Countries and a withdrawal fro m th e 
French Atlantic seaboard. The game 
can be played e ndl e ss ly. But. as 
William Waidegrave pointed out m 
his late (January 12) there was onfy

The price of a free press 


Newspapers are 
essentially about 
intrusion of lives 


F irst things first i am against 
a new commission with pow¬ 
er to stop newspapers pub¬ 
lishing a truth about 
somebody merely because privacy is 
breached. I am glad the government 
has rejected Sir David Ca!ant's 
advice to set up such a commission. 

Why then did I sign the original 
“Cakutt One” report (1990) which 
said that if the press felled to put its 
house in order, such a tribunal 
titould indeed be set up? The answer 
is that I do not think the press’s house 
is in worse disorder than it was before 
1990. Readers whose mouths drop 
open must bear with me. 

A great pile of cant is now heaped 
atop last week’s “Calcutt Two” de¬ 
bate. Top of the pfle are the newspar 
pens themselves. It is humbug for 
them (us) to deride self-regulation for 
lawyers, bankers, doctors, insurers, 
estate agents but to scream fascist, 
dark ages, state control — at any hint 
that press self-regulation might be 
less than perfect Last week the papers 
cheered to the skies Richard 
Branson’s humiliation of Lord King. 
The means of that humiliation were 
libel laws that the press never ceases 
to castigate when used against itself. 

There is no inherent wrong in laws 
controlling the press: many exist 
already. Those on libd are being 
reformed. Privacy laws exist in other 
democracies- America has privacy 
and “false light" laws without a 
noticeably worse press than Britain. 
Statutory enforcement of a code of 
good practice is in itself no more state 
censorship than is the Broadcasting 
Complaints CammissiOTu the Adver¬ 
tising Standards Authority or a dozen 
other statutory tribunals. 

Nor can it help the press cause 
willully to misread Cakutt Two. It 
does not ban investigative journal¬ 
ism. Calcutt One proposed extending 
the criminal law to cover certain uses 
of telephoto lenses and bugging 
devices: it said reporters and photog¬ 
raphers who intrude on people’s 
private property should explain how 
the community benefits from tiie 
intrusion, or be guilty of an offence. 
Publication of the resulting material 
would not be an offence, only tiie 
intrusion if unwarranted. The fam¬ 
ous Times bugging of corrupt police¬ 
men — much cited this week as 
“impossible under Calcutt” — is as 
dear a case of a defensible investiga¬ 
tion as 1 can imagine. 

All of this was in Calcutt One and 
has yet to be implemented by an inert 
government But what of Calcutt 
Two's second proposal, tiie notorious 



tribunal? The 1990 committee said 
that a statutory tribunal would be 
triggered, fust if the press felled to 
support the Press Complaints Com¬ 
mission and second, if there was “less 
than overwhelming" compliance 
with tiie PCC and/or “a total collapse 
in standards”. 

Sir David now believes that the 
PCC has been dominated by its press 
members and is thus spineless. He 
also says that the Ashdown. Mellor, 
Bottomley. Morton affairs and tiie 
royal phones taps indeed indicate a 
collapse in standards. He therefore 
had no option but to advise that the 
tribunal route he activated. 

I disagree. The PCC may seem 
spin dess, but largely because it 
drew iisdf so Limited a remit. 
Lord McGregor's bizarre pub¬ 
lic agonising over whether Princess 
Diana did or did not sponsor the 
Mortem biography was neither here 
nor there. What baffled many people 
was his sflenoe on the tapes. Publish¬ 
ing the tapes was the most glaring 
“unwarranted” intrusion imagin¬ 
able. As long as the royal family 
neither complained nor sued, it 
seemed that the PCC would say 
nothing and self-regulation seemed 
dead. But that failing surely reflected 
a particular cast of victims and 
regulators, not self-regulation itself. 

Thus neither more vigorous self- 
regulation nor stronger criminal 
sanction have been seriously tried. 


But that does not mean that Calcutt 
One was ineffective. Following the 
honor libel cases of the 1980s, such 
as Elton John’s El million from The 
Sun. newspapers have unquestion¬ 
ably been more careful There are 
now in-house ombudsmen, com¬ 
plaint lines, correction cohunns and, 
yes, even the PCC Both complaints to 
newspapers and li- • ' :

as the apalling 
treatment of Lesfa'eCrowthei'5 family. 

Politicians also suffer, for instance the 
largely fabricated stories about David 
Meflor and Norman Lamont But 
potrtirians have long been treated 
thus, and often perjure themselves 
before libel juries in response. Jour¬ 
nalism and politics were never gen¬ 
teel callings. Even the most robust 
rules get broken. Has the MPs* 
register of interests "totally collapsed" 
because some MPs abuse it? 

What has lately blinded all reason 
is a single incident the troubles in the 
Wales’s marriage. I break only a raiW. 
confidence to recall that during 
Cakutt One. we predicted tins one 
event might test self-regulation to 


destruction. There was no way any 
detail, however intimate, of such a 
tragedy would not break surface 
somehow and. enter the public do¬ 
main. Newspapers would be seen at 
their most frantic, most tasteless, 
most craven. No few known to man 
would withstand the onslaught No

In a bowler hat 


WHERE self-regulation has 
failed, statutory control should 
be brought in. That at least is 
whar Sir David Calcutt con- 
dudes in his report into the the 
newspaper industry. 

But his view on legal inter¬ 
vention is rather different 
when he is considering some¬ 
what more familiar territory— 
the City. For wearing his 
alternative hat of chairman of 
the Takeover Panel. Calcutt is 
the staunchest advocate of — 
wait for it — self-regulation- 

This fondness for the light 
touch of self-control emerges 
from answers Calcutt gave to 
the Commons trade and in¬ 
dustry select committee on the 
work of the Takeover Panel in 
March 1991. Menzies Camp¬ 
bell, toe Liberal Democrat 
MP. questioned Calcutt on 
whether the work of the panel 
might be enhanced if it be¬ 
came a statutoiy body. 

Calcutt was emphatic “One 
has to look at toe entire picture 
to see whether we would be 
better off with something 
statutorily based than not I 
personally believe we would be 
worse off." Of toe present 


system Calcutt said: “I do 
believe it is a system which 
works and in which ! person¬ 
ally have faith.” 

Campbell perservered. 
“What would toe Panel have 
to fear from a statutory frame¬ 
work?" Calcutt responded: “It 
has nothing to fear in toe 
narrow sense. What it does 
have to fear is that you would 
have the Panel, instead of 
being master of its own house, 
subject to cases which might 
be dealt with in a contempora¬ 
neous context rather than 
historical: the greater the in¬ 
volvement of the courts, the 
lack of flexibility, the lack of 
certainty in decisions and the 
speed." 

Kenneth Warren, toe then 
chairman, in a line which 
could have straight from the 
Calcutrs new report, pressed 
Calcutt on whether toe seif- 
regulatory Panel, originally set 
up by toe Bank of England 
had sufficient powers? Cakutt 
said. “... I do not believe I 
require additional powers or 
an alteration of toe bass upon 
which the Panel operates -.. 
The characteristics of the Pan¬ 


el we have at the moment, 
and, being master in its own 
house, it has the flexibility to 
adapt the Code as circum¬ 
stances may require.” 

Lord McGregor, chairman 
of the Press Complaints Com¬ 
mission. could nor have put ft 
better himself.

Secret success 

WITH electronic bugging

acd aimed biography of Rich¬ 
ard Nixon. In Nixon, The Life . 
Aitken dwells on toe former 
president's successful re-entry 
on to the world stage at toe 
Oxford Union in 1978. 

Buz unknown to the author, 
toe man who invited Nixon to 
Oxford was one of toe guests 
at the party held at Aitken’s 
home on Thursday evening. 

At the time Alan Duncan, 
raw Conservative MP for Rut¬

The victor; Daniel Mqyfaxv

Nixon declared: “I screwed it 
up and paid tiie price." 

Despite fiviftg in tiie attain¬

THE TIMES SATURDAY JANUARY 16 1993 



PAST THE FIRST POST 

Next a free Commons vote on a Maastricht referendum 


Supporters of the Campaign for a.British 
Referendum on Maastricht win have a 
spring in their step as they march from Hyde 
Park to WestmiiEtCT tomorrow. The Deputy 
Speaks ruled this week that an amendment 
at the dose of the bill's committee stage 
would not after all, be out of order as min¬ 
isters have argued. The amendment would 
allow the Maastricht bin to enter into force, 
but then require the Secretary of State to lay 
an order for a confirmatory referendum. 

A small victory for principle over proce¬ 
dure has been scored. Hie ruling ensures 
that the House of Commons, not ministers, 
will dedde whether a referendum would 
really endanger the fabric of paibamentaiy 
democracy. The allegedly unthinkable win 
be debated. This news is good in itsdt even 
though it does not mean that a referendum 
islikety to be held. 

The government's opposition to a referen¬ 
dum is unc hange d, as is the Labour leader¬ 
ship's. Thevote win not be for two months or 
more, but unless the political arithmetic 
changes, the indications are that the 
amendment will he defeated. The govern¬ 
ment's hairtme majority in last November's 
paving debate is irrelevant to the expected 
line-up. That debate was effectiwiy a 
confidence motion, ensuring that Labour 
was solidly united in opposition. On the 
question of a referendum, there maybe even 
more Tory rebels, but minis ters anticipate a 
comfortable majority. Mr Major, confident 
for once that the .Labour leadership will 
suffer more acutely than the government 
from backbench trouble, is expected to have: 
the whips out in force. 

Such party political calculations smack of 
the myopia, even the opportunism, that has 
disfigured the entire Maastricht debate. No 
British political leader disputes that the 
Maastricht treaty has important constitu¬ 
tional implications. None can deny that 
opposition to these constitutional changes 
cuts, as it does elsewherein Europe, dean 
across parly traditions and loyalties. 

If John Major really believes that he can 
wholeheartedly recommend foe treaty, he 
should not need to whip his supporters. Still 
less should he evade a direct appeal to the 


voters that would surety' establish his 
credentials as the prime minister who wants 
to bring government closer to the people. 

Sanctimonious ministerial statements 
about the sovereignty of Parliament sit ill 
with the government’s determination to 
control debate on a treaty that would 
materially modify the exercise of that 
sovereignty. As for Labour, John Smith’s 
reward for applying foe party whip would 
probably he a revolt ty 70 or 80 Labour 
MPs. hardly an advertisement for the unity 
for whufo tie has .sacrificed whatever radic¬ 
alism about labour reforms he possessed. 

There is time for both men to reflect on the 
merits of a free vote on the amendment, 
given tire strength of feeling in the country. 
Before repeating that the general election 
gave them a ™n^ on Maastricht, they 
should note that eight out of ten voters, 
according to yesterday’s Gallup poll in foe 
Daily Telegraph ,oonfess to ignorance of foe 
treaty's meaning, that only 6 per cent believe 
they have been property consulted and that 
71 per am warn a referendum. 

If a free vote is denied, MPS who support 
Maastricht should remind themselves when 
they vote that this treaty has divided 
governors from the governed across Western 
Europe. A healthy democracy depends on 
the assent of the governed. The 1975 
referendum effectively ended national 
doubts about Britain's membership of foe 
European Community. Denied their say, 
voters are becoming steadily more sus¬ 
picious of Maastricht’s leap into what, for 
most is foe unknown. That can only hinder 
much-needed public debate on a post- 
Maastricht British agenda for Europe. 

A foil national debate could enlist foe 
support of a majority—the more so, if party 
leaders were seen to have accepted the need 
for one. Maastricht should be an open book 
to ordinary people, and this could be 
achieved only by the publicity and debate 
attendant on a referendum campaig n. Each 
voter has at least the right to know how his or 
her MP stands. That is the argument for a 
free-vote in Parliament- It is also, by 
extension, an argument for allowing the 
country to make up its own mind. 


LANDMARK IN ARMS CONTROL 

Hie ban on chemical weapons can and must work 


There is never * a; perfect answer' to anns 
,praJj|eratian. - Th^piemicai > Weanons 
- Qmyfenoori. whfonWgopened forSi^iafore 
in -Parotitis 1 weefcis notapeidfectdqcumenL 
But it sets a precedent It is foe first treaty in 
history to ban foe development, production, 
stockpiling, transfer and use of an entire 
category of weapons and lay down a regime 
to verify whether countries are.cheating. 

For this foe world has to thank not only 
the ending of the Cold war, hut President 
Saddam Hussein; It was Saddam’s use of 
chemical weapons first against Iran and 
then, against Iraqi Kurds, and his threat to 
use than in foe 1991 Gulf war, that over¬ 
rode governments’ remaining reservations. 
It has taken 94 years since the first Hague 
conference on chemical weapons, and 68 
■ since their use (but not then-possession) was 
outlawed under the 1925 Geneva protocol 
to reach this landmark. The convention has 
been sponsored by 144 nations and signed 
tty foe first ] 25: if it works, it should make a 
sfrnSaity comprehensive ban on biological 
weapons politically feasible. 

On purely technical grounds, foe new UN 
agency which will be set up to police foe ban 
will have a formidable task. Detecting foe 
secret production of chemical agents or pre¬ 
cursors is far harder than finding out whetiT- 
er countries are diverting nuclear materials 
to miEtaiy uses. Airy modem petrochemical 
plant can produce lethal chemicals, and 
pesticides are commonly used as a base. As 
was discovered in Iraq and Libya, aerial 
intelligence is all but useless. Poverty is no 
deterrent to production: these weapons 
realty are the “poor man’s atom bomb". 

The rules governing UN inspection add to 


these difficulties. Idealty. suspect installa- 
. tjbns should b^subject to mspection.without 
warning, "kt any time, in any place", as 
President Bush proposed in 1984. But 
America then had second thoughts about 
foe threat this could pose to commercial as 
well as military secrets, and foe treaty now 
gives governments up to five days to 
negotiate the terms of UN access. This is 
long enough to shroud equipment remove 
documents, shut down computers and hide 
components. But it is not long enough to 
dismantle a plant with any regard to safety. 

Cheating will not therefore be impossible; 
but on any scale, ft will be difficult There 
rests fite problem of non-signatories. Absent 
from Paris were not only North Korea and 
Vietnam, but most of foe Arab states — 
including Iraq, Syria, Egypt and Libya — 
thought to be among the 20 states that 
possess chemical weapons. The Arabs’ 
excuse is that Israel must first sign the 
midear non-proliferation treaty and give up 
foe nuclear arsenal it is known to possess. 
Israel, which has signed this convention, 
says ft is ready to agree a ban on all weapons 
of mass destruction in the region, but only as 
part of an overall peace settlement 

Since Abyssinia in 1936, foe Middle East 
is foe only theatre in which these weapons 
have been used. Its people should be spared 
the consequences of such foolhardy postur¬ 
ing by some members of foe Arab League. 
The treaty denies non-signatories access to a 
wide range of chemicals vital to industry. 
This is a potentially effective sanction. The 
West which helped build Iraq’s -chemical 
weapons industry, must ensure that fins 
international ban is rigorously policed. 


PYRAMIDALLY EXTANT 

Ruins need protection from man, the builder and redeveloper 


Man is an absent-minded animal. He 
forgets anniversaries, loses keys and credit 
cards, and leaves more substantial and inex¬ 
plicable packages behind in railway car¬ 
riages. But to mislay a pyramid is heroic 
absent-mindedness: worthy of a giant 
As pyramids go, foe new one to has been 
discovered at Giza is a prawn between 
lobsters. The point of pyramids is that they 
are very old and very big. The Great 
Pyramid of Cheops is foe greatest single 
building ever erected by man, leaving out of 
account such problematic erections as the 
Tower of Babel and such horizontal exten¬ 
sions as foe Great Wall of China. Its base 
area is big enough to hold St Peter’s a£ 
Rome, foe cathedrals of Florence and 
Milan, Westminster Abbey and St Paul’s 
Cathedral.' Other bufidings excite the 
imagination and feed the eye with detail. 
With pyramids foe attractions are sire and 
age. They proclaim that Mr Big was hoe 
once, and that lesser mortals should look on 
his building-sites and despair. - 
The cult pyramid just uncovered is a 
pygmy betide its big brother. large enough 
to contain only the Albert Memorial and 
supply file material to build a wall round 
Kensington Gardens. But even a petty 
pyramid is an exciting resurrection. 

What has presaved this new pyramid for 


more like 46 centuries .pace Napoleon, has 
been the sands of the Nile. The other 
Wonders of the Ancient World have van¬ 
ished because they have been recycled or 
crumbled into dust Remoteness or burial 
are the best protectors of buildings from 
man the redeveloper. Pompei and foe wall 
paintings of Thaa survive only because they 
were buried under volcanic ash for centuries. 
Now they are rapidfy being eroded, by mass 
tourism. Stonehenge, after bong ignored on 
a muddy plain for most of its existence, now 
has to be fenced off from foe coachloads. 

It may not be doing either Cheops or his 
little pyramid a kindness to have recovered it 
from the sand. Once a rum has been 
uncovered, it starts to decay through contact 
with file pollution and traffic of this mortal 
world- The Sphinx lost its nose long aga 
and there is radical debate about whether 
the beast was nasally negroid or miotic 
Chephren's pyramid next door has lost most 
of its casing of limestone. The only way to 
protect even pyramids from the contagion of 
a crowded world is to rebury them. Unesco 
should introduce a policy of rotation of 
andent monuments, as of crops. As a new 
pyramid is uncovered to take its turn for foe 
tourists, an old pyramid should be reburied 
to preserve it with deep-freeze archaeology 
for generations 40 centuries from now. 


LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Calcutt: an unreasonable restriction or a necessary curb on press freedom? 



From Viscount Rotkermere, 
Chairman ., Daily Mail and 
General Trust pic 

Sir. In 77ie 7Xmcs for January J 3 you 
refer to Lord McGregor's statement 
in his letter to Sir David Calais. QC, 
that I had warned him that the royal 
couple had each reouited newspapers 
to cany their own account of then- 
marriage rift. Lord McGregor has 
agreed with me to 1 never stated 
this. He says he used this form of 
words as “shorthand" for what I 
actually said- 

In fact 1 informed him from, 
information at my disposal that it 
appeared to me that foe royal couple 
were seeking to use newspapers to 
present their own cases and that this 
was extremely dangerous for foe 
monarchy and for foe newspapers 
and would present particular diffi¬ 
culties for the Press Complaints 
Commission. Had the prince or the 
princess attempted to forge any 
formal links with our newspapers they 
would naturally have contacted my¬ 
self as proprietor or my editor-in-chief, 
who would have immediately in¬ 
formed me. Of course they did neither 
and I would have been totally aston¬ 
ished if they had. 

■Lord McGregor was not influenced 
by my “overstating the case” as your 
report; “Camp followers became me¬ 
dia messengers to fod battle royal in 
the press” (January 13), suggests, as I 
did not overstate iL 

As regards the Calcutt report, which 
is the cause of the publication of my 
private conversation, the proposals 
therein provide a readymade tool for 
any potential dictator, particularly as 
we have no constitution and no 
enacted Bill of Rights to protect the 
citizens. 

Millions of our countrypeople gave 
their lives, their health and happiness 
jn two world wars for the defence of 
democracy. It is a sad state indeed 
foal now our precious freedom could 
be put in jeopardy by a blinkered 
lawyer, two sad, lost aristocrats, 
politicians who have been most fairly 
and others most unfairly attacked by 
the press, and the advent of a 
proletarian press, which, although it 
occurred during die last war,-has not 
yet been understood apparently by the 
academic classes '. 

We should be grateful that our 
prime minister seems to have grasped 
the difference between political reali¬ 
ties and social unrealities. 

Yours faithfully.

Day foT Democracy 

From Dr Alan Shed 

Sir. Lord Blake's arguments for a 
referendum on the Maastricht treaty 
(“Europe needs a mandate", January 
15) are fine as far as they go. But they 
do not go far enough. His committee 
apparently accepts that foe indepen¬ 
dence of this country could be 
surrendered after a 51 per cent vote, 
whatever proportion of the electorate 
bothered to turn out 

Surely such a fundamental alter¬ 
ation to our constitution could be 
allowed only if approved by a two- 
thirds majority? Scotland in 1979, it 
should be remembered, was denied 
home rule, despite a 5 2 per cent vote 
in favour in the referendum of that 
year, because a safeguard cfense had 
been written into foe relevant Act 
That dause prevented the break-up of 
the United Kingdom. The indepen¬ 
dence of foe United Kingdom should 
now require an even stronger safe¬ 
guard danse, should a new referen¬ 
dum on Europe be conceded. 

Lord Blake’s committee is realty 
more concerned with Tory party unity 
than this country's sovereignty. 
Responding to its appeal therefore, 
might only trigger off a referendum 
campaign rigged from the start 
against foe anti-federalists. That is 
why the Anti-Federalist League will 
not be marching on Sunday, unless 
Lord Blake endorses the need fora 67 
per cent majority.

From Mr Peter Lems 

Sir, It is a matter of deep concern that 
those who take a pro-Maastricht 
position and also favour a referendum 
fed constrained from speaking out at 
the Day for Democracy rally in 
London on Sunday. I still hope to 
some o£ them will change their minds. 

Paddy Ashdown, MP. for instance, 
who has spoken in the House in 
favour of a referendum, has written to 
me that he cannot accept our invita¬ 
tion to appear because he fears that 
"foe occasion is likely to be so 
dominated, for good or ill, by the anfr 
Maastricht case”. 

As Lord Blake, our president 
makes dear in his artide today, such 
caution inhibits calls for a popular 
vqte by reinforcing that domination. 
The Day for Democracy intends to 
display that a popular vote is nec¬ 
essary and desirable for both sides. 

Yours faithfully,

From Mr Richard Hamilton 

Sir. Lord Rees-Mogg (Januaiy 11) is 
right to say to to allow any 

t overrun ent to restrict the power of 
le press would be “madness”. How¬ 
ever, the manner in which news¬ 
papers print apologies and cor¬ 
rections surely must be reviewed, as 
the Calcutt report mates dear. 

The television programme Hard 
News has highlighted many cases 
where a front-page story in a tabloid 
newspaper has come dose to destroy¬ 
ing the individuals) concerned. 
Apologies are often tucked away. 
They surety should be given foe same 
prominence as the original story. 

Newspapers must be called to 
account and made fully to apologise 
for their errors and mistakes. It 
would, in my opinion, be inexcusable 
for the government not to implement 
this recommendation. 

Yours faithfully.

From Mr Harry SpencerSmith 

Sir. How depressing to read (Modem 
Times, Januaiy 14) that the main 
reasons editors would not publish an 
alleged private phone conversation of 
foe Prince of Wales seemed to be that 
they could not be sure of foe tape's 
authenticity or their paper's legal 
position. Only a small handful of foe 
25 mentioned ethical grounds or said 
that it would simply be wrong to go 
ahead with such a gross invasion of 
privacy where no clear public interest 
is involved- 

What does this say about the values 
of those who determine what we read?

Music and the Nans 

From Mr Victor Ross 

Sir, Bernard Levin, usually so dear- 
headed, has tied himself into a knot 
over Furtwfingler’s conduct under the 
Nazis (artide, Januaiy 7) as a result of 
conflating three entirely separate 
questions. 

First, was Furtwangler a moral 
coward? Almost certainly sa albeit on 
a modest scale if you look at file 
competition. Second, did file flaws in 
his character affect the quality of his 
music-making? Absolutely not We 
have plenty of evidence mat scoun¬ 
drels can produce great art Third, 
who is to cast the first stone? 

It is here that Mr Levin goes 
grievousty wrong. He daims that only 
heroes may point an accusing finger, 
only those who have proved by their 
deeds that they stood fast where 
FurtwSngler felL 

The opposite is true: only heroes 
have the right to forgive. Others, and 
particularly ordinary Jews like Mr 
Levin and even more ordinary ones 
like myself, who survived untested in 
this and other countries, have not 
earned foe right to forgive on behalf 
of those who perished- 
We have to remember that a 
scoundrel can make beautiful music, 
but making beautiful music is no 
excuse for being a scoundrel 

Yours faithfully.

Islands under Hitler 

From Sir Peter CrUl , Bailiff of Jersey 

Sir, If foe assessment of Professor 
Charmley and Mr Alan Claris of foe 
weakness of the United Kingdom’s 
position in 1940 and 1941 is right 
(letters, Januaiy 5,7,8,9,12), 1 thank 
God that ChurouD was wrong. Other¬ 
wise. these ancient Crown depen¬ 
dencies might have remained under 
Nazi occupation indefinitely. As it 
was, rumour had it during those years 
that, if she had won. Germany 
wanted to keep the Channel Islands. 

Much has been written lately about 
the behaviour of the riv3 administra¬ 
tion and the inhabitants in the islands 
during the occupation (report Janu¬ 
ary 6). It should be remembered that 
the islands were demilitarised and. 


phoning to hear recordings, for the

tion was involved. 

It is their money that rewards those 
who collect, publish and record. It is 
fiie buyers of those papers, not foe 
editors, who most deserve the con¬ 
tempt of decent people. 

If we want foe holders of high office 
to be the best available, with im¬

must be allowed to let off steam,

From Mr D. J. Cassell 

Sir. Undoubtedly there wifi be a 
public-interest defence for the media 
on infringements of privacy, but this 
Mil depend on what a judge considers 
is or is not in the public interest. There 
will be so much uncertainty that 
serious investigative journalism — an 
increasingly necessary commodity 
these days—may well be endangered. 

Each year legislation in one form or 
another imposes reporting restric¬ 
tions. so that in the past eight years it 
has been necessary to update 
McNae’s Essential Law for Journal¬ 
ists no fewer than four times.

From the Principal of 
Hertford College, Oxford 

Sir, I write concerning the Calcutt 
report The core of the problem is 
financial: in an attempt to stem 
diminishing circulations newspapers 
are tempted to invade privacy and 
publish foe results in a way that most 
people g*»m to find offensive. 

The cure of the problem could also 
be financial but in a form sfighfiy 
different from that proposed in 
Calcutta report Power could be given 
to impose a standard fine when a 
newspaper's behaviour is excessive, 
where foe standard fine is merely foe 
price of the newspaper multiplied by 
its circulation. 

This a ample formula that is readDy 
understandable because it is propor¬ 
tional to the profit that the newspaper 
is making out of its offensive action, 
and would enable the newspaper to 
calculate foe financial risk of taking 
such action- 

It would not muzzle foe press 


because of the world-wide feme each 
enjoyed. Strauss had no interest 
whatsoever in politics and could not 
have imagined foe outcome of Hitler 
coining to power in 1933. 

He was appointed president of the 
Reichsmuakkammer by Goebbels 
(with Furtwangler as vice-president) 
without bong asked if he would 
accept the post He was dismissed in 
1935 because of his continued sup¬ 
port for foe Jewish writer Stefan 
Zweig. 

In 1933 be also conducted in Berlin 
when Bruno Walter was forced out 
and in Bayreuth when Toscanini 
refused. In the first case he said he did 
it for the orchestra and gave them his 
fee. In the second case be did it for 
Bayreuth and Richard Wagner. 

It must be remembered that Strauss 
had a half-Jewisb daughter-in-law 
and therefore part-Jewish grand¬ 
children, to protect and this meant 
that for’ the whole of this terrible 
period he was walking on eggshells. 
He himself had said: “I am no hero, I 
haven’t the necessary strength. I 

E refer to withdraw.” His conduct may 
e criticised, but be acted from no 
more base motives and under more 
extreme pressure than Furtwangler. 

Yours faithfully.

From Mrs A. M. Gross 

Sir. Furtwangler did not have to be a 
hero; he did not have to pay the 
ultimate price. The choice for him was 
to stay in his country, or leave. He did 

not have to stay and perform for the 
Nazis, condoning the exclusion of 
music by Mahler and Mendelssohn.

“open cities". Accordingly, it is as

must be judged. 

The late Sir Ambrose Sherwffl. 
Attorney-General of Guernsey during 
the occupation, later declared: "We 
were civilians and we behaved as such 
in the strictest sense in accordance 
with the usages of war.” As one who 
was here for most of those years, as an 
adolescent that seems to be a very fair 
comment on a difficult and unprece¬

From Mr Frederick W. Hodgson 

Sir. In addition to dealing with 
complaints from foe public foe Press 
Council, which was set up in 1953 
following recommendations by the 
1947-9 Royal Commission on the 
Press, was given the duty "to preserv e 
tiie established freedom of the press”. 

The Calcutt committee’s report in 
May 1990 made no such provision in 
its proposal to replace foe Press 
Council by a Press Complaints Com¬ 
mission. In accepting the report the 
then home secretary, Mr David 
Waddington, deprived the press of a 
valuable champion which could and 
did stand up lor it against govern¬ 
ments. 

Sir David Calcutt now proposes to 
replace the scarcely fledged com¬ 
plaints commission by suffer laws and 
a statutory complaints tribunal with 
draconian powers. Is it any wonder 
that editors are angry and fearful?

From the Reverend Giles Hunt 

Sir. If. as appears, speculation about 
foe marriage of the Prinoe and 
Princess of Wales was engineered, it 
shows bow easily the media can be 
manipulated — not because editors 
are naive (a more street-wise pro¬ 
fession would be hard to imagine) but 
because the sheer commercial profit of 
being the first to publish juicy gossip 
makes them suppress any doubts that 
might otherwise surface. 

Yours faithfully.

Mental health care 

From DrR. W. K. Reeves 

Sir, I do not want to be called to 
section a recently discharged patient 
who is refusing his monthly injection 
and whoa Alness is still in remission 
by virtue of recent treatment — in 
short, to give him an ultimatum: 
admission or injection. What better 
way of alienating a patient? 

Far better to address foe problems 
discussed by Ms O’Hagan in hex 
letter (January S). These in dude on¬ 
going friendship and support from 
the community team and providing 
recreation, socialisation and work. 
The latter facilities should be provided 
in part by the psychiatric hospital and 
commence before discharge. 

Working in a secure unit I have 
been strode by how many patients 
appear to reach an optimum level of 
recovery and then continue to im¬ 
prove with further hospital care. 
Psychiatrists who discharge their 
newly ill patients too quickly may not 
be acting in their long-term interests.

Ladies in retirement 

From the Reverend C. Kevill-Davies 

Sir, Your report of the row at St John’s 
church. Great Rissington ("Church 
lavatory splits village". Januaiy 9) says 
that “traditionalists are offended by 
foe prospect of worshippers seeking 
relief during sermons". In foe late 
17th century a slipper-shaped potty 
was devised for ladies to cany unseen 
in their muffs and to use during foe 
long sermons of Louis BourdaJoue at 
the court of Versailles, 

The problem now is foe need for 
some such item for us country clergy. 
At present I motor on Sundays from 
village to village, wistfully humming 
foe hymn "All ye who seek for sure 
retieT. knowing that foe answer to my 
search lies behind the gravestone near 
foe vestiy door. But when ladies 
become country parsons they may 
find that a less than adequate conve¬ 
nience. Since bourdalous (sic) are 
now collectors' items, might I suggest 
that modem ones should be pro¬ 
duced? They could become standard 
issue to all female country clergy — 
except, hopefully, at Great Rissington.

RENE PLEVEN 


JEAN THOMPSON 


ReniPJevoi. twice prime 
minister of France and several 
- times defence minister, died In 
Paris on Jammy 13 aged 91. He 
was bom in Rennes on April 13, 
1901. 

IT WAS RenO Pleven,- a disciple of 
Jean Monnet, who produced the 
plan for a European army, later 
embodied in the European Defence 
Community Treaty of I9S0. After 
joining General de Gaulle in the 
French Resistance in 1940, he first 
became minister of the colonies in 
1944, then held the finance, national 
economy and defence portfolios until 
1949. He was prime minister twice 
between 1950 and 1952, defence 
minister, again, from 1952 to 1954 
and, briefly foreign minister in 1958. 

The “Pleven Plan”, as it was first 
known, was designed to meet the 
increasingly insistent demand from 
Washington for a greater contribu¬ 
tion by Western Europe.to Atlantic 
defence—arequirementwhkh could 
only be met by utilising Ge rman 
resources. Monnet and Pleven saw 
this European array as one of the 
vital organisms of a United States of 
Europe. But. with only five years 
having elapsed since the end of the 
war. there were strong objections in 
France to any form of German 
rearmament The “Pleven Plan” met 
with, determined resistance particu¬ 
larly from Socialists led by Jules 
Modi, then defence minister, and 
after a long, bitter controversy which 
split the parties, the French Assembly 
rejected the treaty in 1954. 

Ren£ Pleven was the son of Colonel 
Jules Pleven, a disciple of Lyautey. 
Educated at Rennes and at the 
University of Paris, he failed to pass 
his oral examination for the civil 
service, perhaps through shyness, 
and, with Monnefs encouragement 
and help, went info banking and 
then into business in die United 
States, becoming managing director 
of the International Cable Company. 

Pleven came intopolitics as a result 
of the war and was among the ablest 
of the men who tried, and failed, to 
make the Fourth Republic work. 
Coming from the world of business 
and belonging to a new, technocratic 
stream, dm very taO. bespectacled, 
reserved Breton was never quite at 



home in the .French national assem¬ 
bly where lawyers, professors or the 
worst sort of career politicians 
predo minated 

Pleven was a brisk, undoctrinaire 
politician with a practical approach. 
In Britain he would probably have 
been a Tory reformer—conservative 
in character but liberal in political 
and economic ideas—or on me right 
wing of the Labour party. 

A founding member after the war 
of a small group, the Democratic and 
Socialist Union of the Resistance 
which, in spite of its name, was 
nearer the Radicals than the Social¬ 
ists. Pleven became prime minister in 
195 0 when the centre of power in the 
national assembly was moving from 
the Left to the Right 

Edouard Hemot the veteran pres¬ 
ident of the assembly* described him 


in 1950 .as “a statesman of great 
sang-froid, courage and will". But 
tike so many polio dans of the time, 
he had no strong hold on public 
opinion and, for all his qualities, 
remained a man of the system, 
working in the dosed world of the 
Palais Bourbon. 

Pleven was in London in 1940 on 
a purchasing mission for the French 
government Unlike Monnet who 
was also in London but who pre¬ 
ferred to go to America. Pleven joined 
de Gaolfe. Although holding onjjy 
.the rank of sergeant, be was sent in 
the autumn of 1940, to help Felix 
Eboufe, die Negro governor of the 
French African colony of Chad, who 
had declared for de Gaulle, to win 
over the rest of Equatorial Africa. 
Pleven more than won his spurs in 
this dangerous operation. Recalled to 


London by de Gaulle in 1941, he 
became a member of the French 
National Committee on its formation 
and was successively commissioner 
for finance, colonies and foreign 
affairs. He negotiated the first Fran- 
co-American lend-lease agreement 
and the withdrawal of the British 
forces from Madagascar. 

When the organisations of General 
de Gaulle and General Giraud fused 
to form the Committee of National 
liberation at Algiers in June 1943. 
Pleven became commissioner for the 
colonies with the task of re-grouping 
the French forces overseas. He was 
chairman, in 1944, of the Brazzaville 
conference and credited with formu¬ 
lating a liberal colonial polity which 
many Africans thought, mistakenly, 
would lead quickly to independence. 

Elected to the constituent assembly 
in October 1945 and the national 
assembly in 1946 for the Cotes-du- 
Nord department of Brittany. Pleven 
was a co-founder with Francois 
Mitterrand of the Democratic and 
Socialist Union of the Resistance and 
became the group’s chairman. 

Later he became minister in charge 
of the national economy. It was ms 
orthodox methods to safeguard the 
currency which de Gaulle preferred 
to the more radical proposals of 
Mendes-France, the finance minis¬ 
ter. The latter resigned, as a result 
from the government Pleven was 
thus responsible for the first postwar 
devaluation of the franc 

Pleven refused to join de Gaulle in 
1947 when foe General launched his 
Rassemblement du Peuple Fmngais 
and went out of office for three years. 
However he retained considerable 
sympathy for de Gaulle and echoed 
foe General’s more moderate views. 

When foe aged Radical, Henri 
Queuille. formed a government in 
1950, Pleven was made defence 
minister. He became prune minister 
in July- lasting until March 1951, 
When the government was defeated 
on the question of electoral reform. 
He remained as a vice-premier in the 
second Queititie administration. 

Then, after Queuille's resignation 
and the summer general election, 
came France’s worst postwar cabinet 
crisis as the moderate centrist parties 
struggled to bridge their differences 
and to continue excluding the Com¬ 


munist party and the GauHists. There 
bad been 14 governments m foe 
seven years since foe Liberation. 
There were several abortive attempts 
to form new administrations but the 
country was without a government 
for more than a month. Eventually 
Pleven succeeded and in August 
became prime minister for the sec¬ 
ond time with a slightly more right- 
inclined administration. This lasted 
only until January 1952 when the 
government fell over a vote of 
confidence on proposals to balance 
the budget There followed a two- 
montiisfong government by the 
Radical, Edgar Faure. The coming to 
power of Pinay, foe Conservative 
leader, ended foe Radical centre’s 
attempts to govern France. Pleven 
became, once more, defence minister 
in Pinay’s government and retained 
this post in foe successive govern¬ 
ments of Rene Mayer and Joseph 
LanieL 

Pleven was a die-hard over tndo- 
China. When his party congress 
voted in favour of negotiations for an 
armistice in foe region he resigned 
the chairmanship having held it for 
seven years, and was succeeded by his 
rival. M Mitterrand. On Algeria he 
held cautiously liberal views. He tried 
to form a third government in 1958 
which would have foe support, alike, 
of foe representatives in the assembly 
of the French Algerians, the increas¬ 
ingly discontented Array generals, 
and foe centre parties, but he failed. 

He was minister for foreign affairs 
in foe PBimlin government which 
lasted from May 13, 1958. when foe 
Army revolt began until foe end of 
foe month when de Gaulle took over. 
From then Pleven, stin a deputy for 
foe C6tes du Nord, devoted himself 
to European activities and, particu¬ 
larly, to the Liberal International 
Council He was active in work to 
improve the economy of his native 
province. Brittany. 

In Pleven’s personal and political 
make-up there was a blend of 
authority and tolerance; of business 
efficiency and political liberalism; of 
traditional patriotism and interna- . 
tional ideals which enabled him to 
win some sympathy from all political . 
parties save foe Communists. I 

He married Anne Bompard in 1 
1924 and had two daughters. j 


Jean Thompson, CBE, 
rivO servant and 
demographer, died on 
December 28 aged 66. 
She was born on 
December 2,1926. 

JEAN Thompson was a gov¬ 
ernment statistician who, 
because of her special know¬ 
ledge and expertise, played an 
important part in several high 
level political issues related to 
population. She joined foe 
Government Statistical Ser¬ 
vice in 1950 and. after serving 
in the Ministry of Pensions 
and National Insurance, the 
Ministry of Fuel and Power, 
and the Board of Trade, was 
appointed, in 196 7. to foe post 
of chief statistician (popula¬ 
tion} in the then General 
Register Office, now part of 
foe Office of Population Cen¬ 
suses and Surveys. In this post 
she remained until she retired 
in 1986. having declined of¬ 
fers for transfer and promo¬ 
tion elsewhere. 

Although she had previous¬ 
ly been concerned with eco¬ 
nomic statistics, she quickly 
mastered foe techniques of 
population analysis and took 
to them with zest and determ¬ 
ination. At foe time of her 
appointment problems con¬ 
cerned with foe impact of 
immigration from foe New 
Commonwealth countries at¬ 
tracted much public attention. 
Jean Thompson was foe se¬ 
nior official with an expert 
knowledge of the statistics so 
she was involved with minis¬ 
ters in responding to the 
furore raised by Enotih Powell 
and others. 

Sbe crossed swords with 
R.H.S. Cnossman. and an ex¬ 
tremely uncomplimentary ref¬ 


erence to her in his Diaries 
was challenged in the High 
Court. The publishers issued a 
public apology. 

The high birth rates of the 
1960s caused public concern 
about the long-term impact of 
continued population growth. 
The government set up a 
population panel in 1971 of 
which Jean Thompson was an 
influential and active mem¬ 
ber. Its conclusions continue 
to form the basis of the 
government’s approach to 
population issues. Fertility fell 
during the 1970s. which 
meant a frequent reappraisal 
of long-term trends, where 
Thompson’s views were again 
influential With hindsight 
she appears to have been too 
cautious, but her attitude was 
a reaction to an over-enthusi¬ 
astic extrapolation of the up¬ 
swing of the 1960s. 

Jean Thompson was a 
woman of formidable drive 
and energy, who encouraged 
and supported younger col¬ 
leagues. She also repaired 
links between the OPCS and 
academic demographers, 
which had not always been 
cordial. She played an impor¬ 
tant part in the British Society 
for Population Studies, and 
served as president for a time. 

On her retirement, to foe 
surprise of her colleagues, she 
dropped out of the demo¬ 
graphic world. Instead, she 
became active in Oxfordshire 
village life and was soon the 
leading member of a group 
protesting against the noise 
from a nearby US Air Force 
base. Here. too. she was lucks': 
the base is now running down. 

Jean Thompson's services 
were recognised by foe award 
of foe CBE on her retirement. 


FREDERICK DANIELS KI 


Frederick Danidski— 
“Mr Casablanca”—a 
setffnrodaimed spy, died 
at West Palm Beadi, 
Florida, tm January 7 
aged 82. He was born in 
Vienna. 

IFTHE stories told by Freder- 
ick DanSelski were true — and 
no one could ever be quite sure 
— he was one of the most 
colourful characters to inhabit 
foe stewpot of espionage that 
was Lisbon during the second 


world war. He gained the 
nickname “Mr Casablanca** 
because of his resemblance to 
the character played by Hum¬ 
phrey Bogart in the film of 
that name. At aU events, the 
legends served, him wZL dur¬ 
ing his postwar career as a 
night" dub manager in the 
wealthy resort of West Palm 
Beach on Florida’s east coast 
A dapper and gregarious man 
who spoke seven languages, 
Danidski was only 18 when 
he started a fruit and vegetable 


import business in his native 
Vienna In 1932, with the rise 
of the German Nazi party 
casting a threatening shadow 
over Austria, he moved to 
Lisbon, whan he opened 
Freddy’s Viennese Restaurant 
five years later. 

The timing was fortuitous. 
With Portugal remaining neu¬ 
tral, Lisbon became a favour¬ 
ite base for the intelligence 
services of both rides, and for 
journalists as wen. Freddy's 
became a well-known haunt 


for both spies and reporters, 
and Danidski married one of 
foe laser Marjory Hind, a 
correspondent for foe Daily 
Mirror. 

. He was recruited, he 
churned, by a British intelli¬ 
gence officer named David 
Walker, who enlisted him to 
report on incautious remarks 
by his German customers. 
“Lisbon was a melting pot in 
those days, with spies from 
every country," he told an 
interviewer in 1989. “German 


officers came in civilian 
dothes. but you always knew 
who they were. After the third 
bottle of champagne they 
would open up to me." 

Capitalising on his success, 
Danidski went on to open a 
bigger bar in Lisbon which he 
called Nina’s, where he car¬ 
ried on his intelligence work. 
The information he obtained, 
he said, helped foe Allies to 
select targets for bombing 
raids, and it was this establish¬ 
ment which became com¬ 


pared to foe fictitious Rick’s 
Cafei n Casablanca. 

Danielski emigrated to the 
United States after the war, 
and in 1949 began work at 
die Colony Hotel in West 
Palm Beadi. where he was to 
spend most of his career. He 
ran the hotel from 1965 to 
1988, and returned last Feb- 
ruaiy as director of operations. 

Frederick Danielski is sur¬ 
vived by his second wife, and 
by one son and two daughters 
from his first marriage.

On Tuesday Dr. Lankester resumed an 
niquiiy at the Marytebooe Workhouse, roueb- 
ing the death of Sarah aements, who went

Hoffendert’s, of 79, Charlone-street, Port- 
land-place. and died on the Mowing Sai- 
urday from the effects, it was allied, of 
having eaten off a poisoned goose, the whole 
of the persons who partook ofthe goose being 
seized with vomiting and purging- The 
inquiry was adjourned in older mat an 
analysis of the stomach might be obtained. 
Mr. G. Haflenden stated tharne had known 
the deceased for some years, and she came to 
dtoe with him and ha sister on Christmas 
Day. She left about 8 o’clock in the evening; 
sbe had goose for dinner and a small portion 
of plum pudding. She appeared quite well 
when she left Himself and sister ate some of 
the goose, and they were both taken ill the 

to call in medical aid Professor J.E.D. 
Rodgera, lecturer on medical jurisprudence at 
foe London College, M.R.GS. So, stated that

of this particular goose proved fatal. 


doubt that foe goose in question contained a 
■portion of that add whkh caused the deafo of 
the deceased. The Coroner. - Do you think 
that the dose way in which the geese are 
packed has a tendency to generate foe add? 

Professor Rodgers said - Most deridedty;

kept byfishmongers until itwasbad. and then 
dipped in “Coneys fluid" which rook away 
the bad smell, but h was dangerous to eat it A 
verdict was recorded that deceased died from 
eating poisoned goose. 


A POETS LOST DAY. - AT foe Maiylebone 
County Court a few days ago Mr. Page. 
Italian warehouseman, of West bourne-grove, 
sued Mr. Robert Browning, the poet, for 8s„ 
the value of two bottles of port wine- Plaintiff 
said that formerly the defendant was a 
customer, but lately the custom had been 
taken away. A lad called on foe 8foof July last, 
and said Mr. Browning wished to have rwo 
bottles of port wine, and as he (plaintiff) had 
previously known foe lad to be in foe 
defendant's service, he let him have the wine 
on credit Mr. Browning, in defence, said he 
had not dealt with the plaintiff for two years. 
He never drank port wine, nor did anyone 
else in foe house. He never ordered it from 
anyone. 

MV. Browning concluded an indignant 
speech by calling his housekeeper and page, 
both of whom deposed they had never 
ordered or received portwine from plaintiff or 
anybody else for Mr. Browning's house. His 
Honour (Mr. Jessefl) said plaintiff had not 
shown a proper amount of caution in his 
dealings, and judgment would be given far 
defendant Mr. Browning said he had lost foe 
whole day in connexion with foe paltry daim, 
but he resisted it on principle. He wished his 
costs to be appropriated to foe poor-box of the 
court — £*press.

Saddam yields to new raid threat 

■ The Iraqi foreign ministry agreed that United Nations 

inspectors should be allowed to land in Baghdad, less than an

There arc certainly a kit erf wdrdos 
and desperadoes roaming the 
streets of New York with whom 
it would be rash to seek a con¬ 
frontation. But the distinction 
between a mugger and a beggar is 
beginning to become rather 
blurred_Page 12 

Simon Jenkins 

My one disagreement with C&kutt 
Two here is with his recommenda¬ 
tion that victims would be able to 
obtain prior injunctions to stop 
publication. I think this goes too 
far. News is always timeiefisftive 
and is peculiarly sensitive to 
"gagging injunctions"— Page 12

tumbles to 
a six-year low 


By Janet Bush 
economics 

. CORRESPONDENT 

THE two main measures of 
B ritish inflatio n moved in 
opposite directions in 
December viriih die headline 
rate falling sharply to its 
lowest level since August, 
1986, but . the underiying 
rate, which the government 
theading slightly 

Retail price inflation fell 
more sharply than economists 
had expected to 2.6 per cent, 
from 3 percent in November, 
almost entirely reflecting falls 
in mortgage rates after the 
Autumn Statement The Cen¬ 
tral Statistical Office said low¬ 
er mortgage rates could 
depress January's headline 
rate by around 0.5 per cent 
perhaps taking the rise in the 
retail price index near to 2 per 
cent 

The underiying rate rose 
marginally to 3.7 per cent 
from 3.6 per cent in Novem¬ 
ber, reflecting a sharp rise in 
food prices. Treasury officials 
said underiying inflation 
would have fallen if petrol 
pricecuts last month had been 
mduded-Theirimpactwfilbe 
frit in January's figures. 

This is flte first monthly rise 
since March 1992 and may 
signal -the trough. for the, 
underlying rate ofxnflation. lit, 
December, seasonal food' 
prices jumped by 4 per cent 
and the CSO said food prices 
are Hfcdy to exert more up¬ 
ward pressure on inflation 
during January and February. 
Another area where price rises 
are beginning to emerge 
again rs household goods, 
particularly furniture, furnish- 
mgs and electrical appliances, 
although tire CSO said that 
these increases could be re¬ 
versed in fee January sales. 

Offsetting this is evidence 


■ Headline inflation fell shanty to 2.6 per 
cent last month but the underlying rate, 
excluding mortgages—which the 
government targets—moved slightly higher 


that there is still considerable 
pressure on prices in some 
other parts of the high street 
with deep discounting of 
many products before and 
after Christmas. Clothing and 
footwear, for example, fell 0.5 
per cent last month, the first 
December decline since 1985. 

Yesterday’s figures were 
generally better than econo¬ 
mists had expected and ap¬ 
peared to justify the wave of 
speculation in financial mar- 
kids on Thursday that base 
rates would be cut again. 
However, there are dear 
warning signals from the 
small nse in the underiying 
rale of inflation which is 
already approaching the level 
forecast bytheTreasury for the 
end of this year. 

Although die CSO said 
there was little evidence that 
tiring impart prices after ster¬ 
ling's devaluation had come 
through to tiie high street, this 
is bound to happen during the 
next few months. Economists 
at Phillips & Drew said yester¬ 
day higher import prices 
would start fuelling increases 
even in headline inflation 
during Ihe first three months 
of this year. They noted that 
food prices would be boosted 
by the effects of the “green” 
pound devaluation. “Green” 
exchange rates are used to 
convert EC agricultural sup¬ 
port prices denominated in 
ecus into local currency. Phil¬ 
lips & Drew forecasts a rise in 
the underiying rate of infla¬ 
tion to more than 4 per cent by 
the end oftheyear—above the 
government’s 1 per cent to 4 
per cent target range — while 


the headline rate will be 
around 2.75 per cent 
□ The US trade deficit grew 
by 5 per cent in November, 
largely due to a fall in exports 
reflecting weakening econo¬ 
mies in Japan and Europe. 

The deficit rose to $7J>9 
billion from a revised %722 
billion in October. Exports 
had been strong in the first 
half of 1992 and helped fuel 
America’s recovery but this 
impetus now appears to be 
losmg momentum. US con¬ 
sumer prices rose only 0.1 per 
cent in December, a rise of 2.9 
per cent for 1992, the lowest 
since 1986. Industrial produc¬ 
tion rose 0.3 per cent in 
December. The dollar was 
buoyed by market rumours of - 
co-ordinated French / German 
interest rate cots and, as the 
mark slipped, foe French 
franc moved to its highest level 
since November 20. 

Sterling moved higher as no 
base rate cuts emerged. It 
dosed at DM2.5035 com¬ 
pared with its dose on Thurs¬ 
day of DM2.49. The market 
was awash with rumours at 
the end of last week. On 
Thursday, there was a sudden 
outbreak of speculation that 
base rates would be cut with 
no apparent reason apart 
from the impending release of 
the retail prices data. The 
Chancellor of the Exchequer 
has repeatedly said that mone¬ 
tary policy has already been 
loosened significantly and that 
the impact of recent cuts in 
interest rates was yet to be fuDy 
felt. Yesterday’s rumours of a 
co-ordinated European rate l 

cut also came out of the blue. Waiting for the count Tiny Rowland has already sold half his stake to Dieter Bock 


Low take 
likely for 
Lonrho 
rights 

Bv George Sivell 
CITY EDITOR 

ADVISERS to Lonrho expect 
to announce on Monday 
morning the result of the 
rights issue designed to give 
Dieter Bock, the German 
property investor, a stake of up 
to 19 per cent of the conglom¬ 
erate, of which Tiny Rowland 
is chief executive. 

The offer dosed at 3pm 
yesterday but because of the 
need to count and check 
acceptances in South Africa as 
well as London, it wfl] not be 
possible to make an an¬ 
nouncement until just before 
the opening of trade on the 
stock market on Monday 
morning. 

Because the market price 
has been persistently below 
the rights issue prioe of 85p, 
the market expects the issue to 
have been poorly subscribed. 
Lonrho shares yesterday 
dosed at 72p, up lp. They 
have not been above 80p since 
the rights issue and sale of 
VAG, which distributes Volks- 
wagens and Audis in die UK. 
for £124 million, announced 
on December 9. 

The issue was designed to 
give shareholders an opportu¬ 
nity to match Mr Bock's 
participation in Lonrho. He 
has underwritten half the is¬ 
sue. which means that even if 
no other shareholder exercises 
their rights, he will take up an 
extra 100 million shares. In 
die unlikely event that other 
shareholders take up all their 
rights, he would have ended 
with 9 percent 
Mr Bode has already 
bought half of Mr Rowland's 
15 per cent shareholding at 
115p a share and has an 
Option to acquire the rest after 
three years. Exercise of this 
option would leave him with a 
maximum 25 per cent of 
Lonrho. 

A statement from Mr Bock 
on his intentions seems some 
way off. He is preparing to 
travd to the Caribbean on 
Tuesday of next week and is 
not due to return until eariy in 
February. 


Euro Disney shares jump 
as chairman steps down 

By Martin Waller, deputy city editor 


ROBERT Fitepairkk. the 
man who created the Euro 
Disneyland theme park, near 
Paris, has stood down unex¬ 
pectedly as chairman of the 
rampany running the paik. 

His replacement is French, 
a fact that apparently prompt-. 
ed a shar p rise in Euro 
Disneyland shares on the Par- 
is Bourse. That was reflected 
in a 28p jump to 778p by the 
shares m London. The park 
has proved less popular man 
had been expected among the 
French since it opened last 
spring. 

The departure of Mr Fitz- 

C dfc. who remains on the 
d of the holding com¬ 
pany, is part of an attempt to 
make Euro Disneyland more 
attractive to Europeans after it 
was criticised fay one French 
intellectual as a "cultural 
Chernobyl". His replacement 


as chairman is Philippe Bour- 
guignon, who was made presi¬ 
dent of the company in 
September after joining in 
1988 as vice-president for 
property development. 

Anita Hibbert an analyst at 
Smith New Court, said: “It's a 
symbolic move, in that they 
have been unable to get the 
French, very excited.” The park 
has in recent weeks been 
offering promotions and dis¬ 
counts to Parisians and other 
local people. 

Euro Disneyland said Mr 
Fitzpatrickwas stepping down 
to create an international con¬ 
sulting company in Paris. He 
had been marie chairman in 
September “to oversee the ... 
transition to a European man¬ 
agement team.” 

One insider commented: 
"The Europeanisation of Euro 
Disneyland, for the lack of 


which we have been criticised 
in the past, continues apace in 
terms of Bourguignon being 
in charge.” 

Because of Mr Fitzpatrick's 
continuing directorship of the 
holding company, there is no 
question of compensation for 
loss of office. He remains a 
consultant to Walt Disney 
Corporation, which has a 50 
per cent stake in the park. 

Michael Eisner, chairman 
and chief executive of Walt 
Disney, said: “We were ex¬ 
tremely fortunate to have had 
the unique talent and services 
of Bob Fitzpatrick during the 
period when we moved Euro 
Disney from dream to glitter¬ 
ing reality." 

Mr Fitzpatrick was presi¬ 
dent Of the California Institute 
of the Arts for 12 years before 
joining Disney in March 
1987. 


Sir Gordon 
joins board 
of Mirror 

By Our Cnv Staff 

MIRROR Group Newspa¬ 
pers has appointed Sir Gor¬ 
don Borne, for 16 years 
director-general of fair trad¬ 
ing, as a non-executive direc¬ 
tor. He joins a board that 
already contains another well- 
known socialist luminary. 
Lord Hollick. chairman of 
MAI. the financial services 
and media group. 

Sir Gordon is also a non¬ 
executive director of the Wool¬ 
wich Building Society and 
Three Valleys Water Services. 
The Mirror board has come 
under criticism, after the ap¬ 
pointment of David Mont¬ 
gomery as chief executive; 
from staff who fear a move 
away from the newspaper’s 
traditional pro-Labour stance. 

Sir Gordon left the OFT 
last year but remains as chair¬

Store that proves diamonds are forever 


By Jon Ashworth 
IN THE new Bentafl Centre. 

in KingstonHipotF-Thflines, a 

fewdkxy shop, called simply 
The Jewellery Store, has 
opened for business. It 
displays nowatches, no novel¬ 
ty goods, just items of 
jewelkiy, ranging from a 
£15,000 diamond necklace at 
the top end, to a pair of silver 
earrings for £1.50. 

It may not be obvious, but 
The Jewellery Store is the 
comeback, vehicle for Victor 
Ratner, cousin of Gerald, and 
former deputy man a gin g di¬ 
rects of tire Itatnerejewefl^ 
group. Since resigning from 
Ramere last February, shortly 
after his cousin handed the 
chairmanship to Jim 
McAdam. Mr Ratner has 
been busy preparing his latest 


v-- 


venture. Rom the moment 
the Bentafl Centre opened in 
November, his shop moved a 
hit with passers-by. now, he 
intends to take the formula to 
the rest of Britain. 

“It has Started off very 
wdL" said Mr Ratner, who 
prefers to remain out of the 


KmeUght “This is the proto¬ 
type unit and it’s all gone 
according to plan. I nave 
started looking for rites and 
hope to open new shops in 
Emnburgh. Liverpool and 
Manchester.*’ 

This is not Ratners by 
another name. H. Samuel, the 


powerhouse of the Ratners 
group, crams its shelves with 
watches, chains, decanters, 
docks and ornaments. The 
Jewellery Store is for shop¬ 
pers seeking professional ad¬ 
vice on a speafic item, be it a 
diamond ring or an 18 ct gold 
brooch. The fact that a mem¬ 
ber of the Ratner family is 
involved is mere coincidence. 

The Jewellery Store’s logo 
— a dosed gold rose with a 
diamond perched at the top— 
may become a familiar sight 
in cities and towns across the 
UK, bat Mr Ratner is in no 
rush. His initial success bodes 
well for the 600.000 sqft 
Bentafl Centre which attract¬ 
ed up to 300,000 people a day 
over Christmas. It was devel¬ 
oped by Norwich Union in 
partnership with Ben tails pic 
and is now 80 per cent let

Insurers get 
cheer from 
level of new 
business 


■ Life insurance companies say recession 
discouraged savers from a commitment to 
long-term and regular payments but single¬ 
premium business continues to grow strongly 


THE TIMES SATURDAY JANUARY 16 1993 


By Sarah Bagnall 


PRUDENTIAL Corporation, 
the UK's largest life insurance 
company, and Scottish Mutu¬ 
al. the life insurance subsid¬ 
iary of Abbey National, have 
both announced sharp rises in 
new business despite the con¬ 
tinuing recession. 

Prudential increased new 
long-term business to record 
levels of £4.9 billion, which 
lifted the shares 9p to 296p, 
while Scottish Mutual record¬ 
ed a 29 per ant rise to El 79.4 
minion. 

Both companies saw strong 
growth in single-premium 
business, reflecting the contin¬ 
ued low levels of consumer 
confidena that discourage 
savers from committing them¬ 
selves to long-term and regu¬ 
lar payments. Single¬ 
premium business rose by 33 
per cent to £4.21 billion at 
Prudential and by 41 per ant 
to £158.1 million at Scottish 
Mutual 

Single-premium business 
has been expanding rapidly 
for the past two years, with 
particularly strong growth 
during 1992. Prudential's 33 
per ant rise in 1992 compares 
with an increase of 25 per cent 
last time. 

Annual premiums fared less 
well. Prudential managed a 
slight increase to E672 million 
from E662 million while Scot¬ 
tish Mutual recorded a fall of 
21.5 per ant to £21.2 million. 

A geographical breakdown 
of Prudential's figures shows 
that the trend in single and 
annual premiums is world¬ 
wide. Annual premiums from 
the company's overseas opera¬ 
tions grew 19.8 per ant to 
£206 million while single pre¬ 
miums lept 31 percent to £2.2 
billion. However, this growth 
largely reflects the devaluation 
of sterling. 

In the UK, most of 


Prudential's growth in single 
premiums, which rose 40 per 
cent to £1.97 billion, came 
horn the Prudence Bond, a 
single-premium bond invest¬ 
ed in the company's with- 
profits fund. The product, 
which was launched in the 
spring of 1991. reached total 
sales of £835 million, com¬ 
pared to £325 million. 

Mick Newmarch. the 
Prudential’s group chief exec¬ 
utive. said the Prudence Bond 
has trebled the number of 
independent financial advis¬ 
ers with which it deals. M We 
are well on the way to achiev¬ 
ing our goal of a 10 per ant 
share of this market” Pruden¬ 
tial currently has 5 per ant of 
the market U K annual premi¬ 
um sales rose by E5 million to 
£325 million. 

The other main source of 
new business for Prudential 
was provided by additional 
voluntary contribution 
schemes, sales of which dou¬ 
bled. and money-purchase 
pensions schemes, where the 
pension is calculated on the 
basis of the amount of money 
invested in a fund rather than 
the individual’s final salary. 

The company administers 
AVC schemes for the educa¬ 
tion department and has been 
very successful in selling the 
product to teachers through its 
direct sales force. 

Prudential, the largest pro¬ 
vider of personal pensions in 
the UK. saw strong growth in 
single-premiums pensions 
largely as a result of the 
doubling of transfer business 
from £80 million to £163 
million in 1992. The increase 
in transfer business is a result 
of redundancies and people 
changing jobs, both of which 
require holders of corporate 
pensions to transfer into per¬ 
sonal pensions. 



Recovery pattern: Roy Bishko is poised for a substantial increase in profits 

Tie Rack has a meny ring 


TIE Rack, the specialist tie. 
scarf and fashion accessories 
retailer, is on course fora fine 
year — thanks to a bumper 
Christmas in which sales 
climbed 2.5 per cent on the 
previous year. 

Roy Bishko. the South Afri- 
can-bom lawyer who founded 
the company in 1981. said 
income from new shops and 
tighter cost controls will see a 
"substantial increase” in 
earnings for the year to end- 
January. 

Analysts are looking for 
pre-tax profits of £2 million to 
£33 million compared with 
£1.03 million last time. So far 


By Jon Ashworth 

this year. Uke-for-like sales 
have risen 6 per ant. Mr 
Bishko said cautious growth 
will continue this year with up 
to 20 new shops planned. 

He said: "We’ve got very 
good products and offer great 
value. Our customers like 
what we do.” « 

The company has net cash 
balances of more than £7.5 
million. Tie Rack has weath¬ 
ered the heavy losses that 
plagued it during the late 
1980s. 

First signs of a recovery 
appeared in November when 
the company made a first-half 
profit of £301.000.compared 


with a loss of £972.000. The 
number of Tie Rack shops has 
increased from 257 to 273 
and divirions In France and 
Australia are doing welL 
Shops in America and Canada 
remain Joss-making. About 40 
per cent of sales come from 
abroad. 

The North American opera¬ 
tions remain unprofitable, 
but initial start-up costs have 
worked their way through. 
Costs are under tight control 
and the company is pursuing 
a policy of cautious ex¬ 
pansion. Tie Rack has just 
opened in Belgium. 

The shares rose 8p to 80p. 


Wembley 
wins HR 
stadium 
contract 

From Lulu Yu 
IN HONC KONG 

WEMBLEY, the company 
that runs Wembley Stadium, 
has been hired by the Hong 
Kong government to give a 
much-needed boost to the 
colony’s fledgling leisure 
industry. 

The firm yesterday won a 
prestigious contract to man¬ 
age ' Hong Kong Stadium, 
home to the international 
rugby sevens and Hong 
Kong's premier venue for 
sports and entertainment 

The stadium, founded by 
the Royal Hong Kong Jockey 
Chib, is undergoing an 
HK$850 million (£71 million) 
expansion and facelift to make 
it one of the largest and best- 
equipped venues in Asia. 

The fee-based management 
contract is expected to bring 
quid: profits for Wembley. It is 
the group's biggest foray into 
Asia. 

Sir Brian Wolfson, Wem¬ 
bley’s chairman, in Hong 
Kong for the signing of the 
contract yesterday, said: "This 
is a pivotal contract What it 
means in strategic terms is 
enormous. Hong Kong is the 
key city in the whole region. 
Just look at the population 
mix, the sophistication, the 
spending power. 

"Hong Kong gives us the 
ability to establish momentum 
in Aria. We would like to be 
the player in the region.” he 
added. 

Wembley manages 14 ven¬ 
ues in Europe and America, 
and has a number of consul¬ 
tancy projects in'Japan. But its 
main source of revenue is from 
the running of Wembley Sta¬ 
dium. Wembley Arena and 
Wembley Conferena and Ex¬ 
hibition Centre, which is the 
largest single complex in the 
world. 

The Hong Kong Stadium 
will have a capacity of40.000, 
about half that of Wembley 
Stadium, with hospitality box¬ 
es. restaurants, and private 
catering services. 

It is expected to stage lead¬ 
ing international sporting 
events and big-name conarts 
that will rival those held in 
London. 

Wembley Stadium will host 
the 1996 European football 
championships. It has staged 
many leading rock concerts, 
including Live Aid in 1985 
and Michael Jackson in 1988.

on February 8. 

The results are in line with 
City forecasts and follow losses 
of £34 million in 1991. driven 
by provisions for bad debts. 
First National Bank, the con¬ 
sumer lending division, is 
back in the black and FNFC is 
expected to return to profit in 
the 1993 financial year. FNB 


provides up to half of Britain’s 
home improvement loans and 
accounts tor nearly 80 per cent 
of FNFC’s business. ’ 

Tim Ingram, group finance 
director, said dedining default 
rates on loans for second 
mortgages and home im¬ 
provements. in tandem with 
lower interest rates, would 
lead to a sizable drop in tbe 
level of bad debt provisions. 
FNFC has passed its dividend 
for the second year tunning, 
but expects to return to pay¬ 
ments with a 1.5p dividend in 
1993. 

FNB swung from a first-half 
loss of El 3 million to a profit of 
£8.2 million in the second half. 
Lower default rates saw the 
levd of provisions fall from 
£36 million to £27 million in 
the two periods. Losses before 
tax in the commercial lending 
division increased from £5.5 
million to £13.4 million in the 
second half because of higher 
provisions against fells in the 
value of property assets secur¬ 
ing loons. Overall extraordi- 
naiy losses eased from £16.9 
million to E8.2 million over the 
two periods. FNFC shares rose 
lI l 2pto68p.

Christmas depletes 
National Savings

CHRISTMAS spending re¬ 
sulted in more being with¬ 
drawn from National Savings 
in Deamber than was depos¬ 
ited. Withdrawals totalled 
£450 million, but only £385 
million was invested. 

Sales are traditionally low 
during December and for the 
first week of the month the tax- 
free certificates were not on 
sale. 

National Savings’ total con¬ 
tribution to funding in the first 
eight months of tms financial 
year was £3.7 billion, of which 
£1.4 billion was accrued inter¬ 
est Building societies are ex¬ 
pected to report an outflow of 
funds for 1992. 

Concern that interest rates 
being paid by National Sav¬ 
ings were causing an outflow' 
of funds from societies led to 
several rare reductions last 


year. In addition, the First 
Option Bond was withdrawn 
in November and has no date 
for relaunch. 

When interest is taken into 
account. National Savings 
contributed E100 million to 
government funding. 

During December, sales of 
index-linked certificates total¬ 
led £117 million and fixed 
interest certificates sold £58 
minion. Income bonds attract¬ 
ed £55 million but repayments 
were £88 million. 

So far this Bnandal year, 
sales of fixed-interest certifi¬ 
cates have totalled £1.1 billion. 
Much of this was at the 
beginning, when the rate was 
very attractive- The First Op¬ 
tion Bond, which was 
launched in July, attracted 
£849 million before it was 
withdrawn. 


CBI urges end to taxing 
of jobs counselling 

: THE CBI is urging Nonnan Lamont the Chancellor, to stop 
taxing counselling services provided by employers for people 
made redundant,The calT.ts contained in its recommenda¬

counselling is. liable to tax where a redundancy package is

Howard Danes, CBI director-general said me effector me 
present arrangements was that employees offend out¬ 
placement counselling would be more likely to dedine, it 
arrv p to nrp meant incurring tax. The CBI also calls for tax 
deductions on environmental measures undertaken by 
companies, tax bleaks on equity finance, tax consideration 
for foreign exchange losses, easier compliance rutes for cor¬ 
poration tax returns and revision of the VAT penalty regime. 

BCCI appeals lost 

TWO Americans who are alleged to haveplayed a role in the 
Bank of Credit and Commerce international scandal have 
lost appeals to haw cover-up and bribery charges d is m i ssed. 
They are due to stand trial on February 15. Robert Altman, a 
45-year-old lawyer.. lost an appeal in New York Stare Three 
day s earlier, 85-year-old Clark Clifford, a former defense 
secretary, lost a plea that charges agains t him should be

Zetters holds payout 

ZETTERS, the London-based football pools operator, is 
bolding die interim dividend at 4p a share, reflecting 
continued difficult trading conditions. In the six months to 
die end of September, profits eased from £451.000 before tax 
to £427.000 and earnings from 4.ip a share m 4p. Group 
turnover fell from £11.03 million to £10.72 million. The 
company said that profitability of the Spot the Ball 
competition, run in competition with littiewoods and 
Vernon Pools, was "very satisfactory”. However, Zetters 
' reveals that telephone-related and other services had not yet 
met tiie success expeoed.. . 

Owners criticises bid 

OWNERS Abroad, the holiday firm for which Airtoms has 
made a £210 million hostile bid. has accused Airtours of 
launching a “defensive and distracting bid” and of failing to 
quantify claimed cost savings. In response to. the offer 
document. Howard Klein, Owners’ chairman, said: 
“Airtours has based its case on a number of abstract general¬ 
isations and daims. demonstrating a lack of understanding 
of the Owners Abroad group.” He said- Airtours has not 
shown the experience to integrate such a sizeable acquisition. 
M r Klein urged shareholders to reject the bid and bade an 
alliance with Thomas Cook and LTU Group. ". 

Hanson note offer 

HANSON is reshuffling some of its - short-term debt into 
longer term debt with the offer of $1.25 billion of notes in 
America. Hanson is offering $500 million of 5^ per cent 
1996 notes priced at 99.749 to yield 5.592 per cent at 
maturity and $750 million of 7.375 percent notes due 2003 
priced at 99.468 to yield 7.451 per cent at maturity. The 
proceeds will be used to pay off shorter debts. Derek Bonham, 
chief ocecutrve, said: “This issue further diversifies our 
fending sources and demonstrates the increasing recognition 
by American investors of Hanson’s substantial American and 
British operations and overall financial strength.” 

Hall Engineering cuts 

HALL Engineering is cutting 90 jobs in an attempt to boost 
profits at two of its busi n esses. The companies affected are 
Hall & Pickles, a steel stockholder, and British Reinforced 
Concrete Engineering. Forty jobs are going with the dosure 
of Hall & Pickles's depot in Daventry. Northamptonshire, 
and reorganisation of four BRCE stock centres will result in 
50 redundancies. The restructuring will cost Shrewsbury- 
based Hall & Pickles £1.5 million in redundancy pay arid 
dosure costs. Profits, however, are expected to rise by 
£400,000 a year. BRCE’s costs will be reduced by £800,000, 
the company said.

oiler 


S tuart Upton, the chief exec¬ 
utive of Stanhope Proper¬ 
ties, has put on weight Ten 
kOos—more than one and 
H a half stone — and he Names it 
™ entirely on the recession: “I have 
suffered", he says from the comfort 
of his fifthlloor office in London’s 
Berkeley Square. His face looks 
fleshy and moist, his eyes large, 
watery and brown. “These have 
been difficult times and I do get 
stressed. Some-people smoke or get 
ulcers. I don't smoke; apart from a. 
raze cigar, but 1 do eat.” 

The canse of his stress readied a 
watershed, ten days ago when Lip- 
ton manfully announced that the 
company had notched up losses of 
£125 million, that it had made a 
near-fatal error fay not selling more 
of its properties at an earlier stage 
in the cyde and that it was dose to 
breaching its loan covenants. He 
went on to say, however, that the 
company had now readied agree¬ 
ment with its _ ' 

^ bankers to extend

that it survives i ai 

only, as a consid¬ 
erably smaller entity. “Neverthe¬ 
less," says Iipton, “1 now think we 
will still be here in ten years time”. 
Iipton. 50, made his first million 
-v before he was 30. but admits he has 
iff made mistakes since. “If I lode 
back... no, 1 wouldn’t do it all the 
same again. In business terms I 
was always taught to keep build¬ 
ings. not to trade them. Being a 
trader was a dirty word. Then I end 
up in a work! where one should 
have sold everything. It’s very 
peculiar”. The upfront manner in 
which he tackled Stanhope’s prob¬ 
lems. however, is in character. “I 
like being straight, 1 would rather 
be straight than dither around... I 
have found in business that it is 
better not to give people surprises. 
If there is bad news, I want to know 
it Absolutely straight out blunt I 
am perhaps too blunt but I would 
rather solve the problem.". 

Iipton is certainly kncwriforlns 


disconcertingly direct manner. His 
is a man given to instant instinctive 
and invariably accurate judgments, 
about people as wefl as business 
deals. If he likes someone he win 
relax and can talk tor hours. If not 
he w 21 simply walk out of the room. 
“I do tend to be an all or nothing 
person when it comes to people ana 

says. Those who fall into thefatter 
categoraiy invariably lake a strong 
dislike to him also, and find him a 
forbidding — 6 ft 4in tall—sb'ghtty 
frightening figure. They would 
describe n™ as difficult , 
impossible, to work with, as mercu¬ 
rial and moody and. erroneously, 

as cold and austere. Yet he has buflt 
around himself a tightly lcnft team 
of professionals, many of them the

steadfast loyalty and genuine affec¬ 
tion towards him. 

Iipton says reports of his temper 
have been exaggerated. “Pm not a

my temper often.

that gets a bit 
noisy then so 
modi to the good. If I do have a 
row with someone then bang, that’s 
it, and then it's all over. 1 would 
then rather be the guilty person, in 
notional terms, and apologise, than 
wait for the other person to do so. 
I’m not naturally argumentative. I 
have never sued anybody and if I 
feel aggrieved about something I 
might write an angry letter but it 
wfll not get sent” 

That temper or disdain, accord¬ 
ing to his mood, is invariably 
reserved for certain types of people. 
“I’m a very informal person and I 
don’t like formal people,” Iipton 
says. “I don’t like stuffy people, I 
like matter of fact, honest types. I do 
not like people who can’t get their 
hands dirty. I like people who get 
involved. I look for warmth, open¬ 
ness. integrity. I’m drawn to more 
artistic people:” 

Iipton is all three of the aborc: 
warm, open and honesL He is 



Growth in recession: Stuart Iipton deals with stress by eating and as a result has put on weight 


happy for you to see him as he is, 
warts and aH It would not occur to 
him to put on any pretence, just as 
he wfll not feign interest if he finds 
himsdf in the company of someone 
he considers a bore. 

“He tends to get up quite quickly 
and walk out of the room if he 
doesn’t like somebody,” says Garry 
Hart, head of the property depart¬ 


ment at law firm Herbert Smith 
and Stanhope’s legal adviser for the 
past 14 years. “You can always tell 
if he is feeling fairly comfortable in 
a meeting because he will remove 
his shoes. If he keeps his shoes on it 
win be for a reason. There have 
been instances when people have 
tried to get his shoes away from 
him so can’t leave the room. He is 


pretty notorious for disappearing 
during meetings.” 

“I’m not a good meetings per¬ 
son.” Iipton concedes. “In large 
meetings I’m awful I probably 
come across as grumpy, impatient 
and inconsistent Sometimes I can 
be very productive, sometimes I'm 
not I’m at my best in small 
meetings, where we can all sit 


around and brainstorm. But I do 
need time on my own to think. I'm 
more creative outside the office 
than in it that's when I get ideas.” 

Even at home, in St John's Wood 
where he lives with his wife, Ruth, 
and their three children — Elliot, 
23. Sarah. 21. and Grant 18 — he 
craves his own company. He wilj 
frequently shut himsdf away with 
his stereo system and play music, at 
a low or high volume. “My normal 
reaction in the morning is to get up 
and turn on some music and just be 
my own person for an hour. My 
wife would just leave me alone. At 
weekends 1 , can disappear for a 
whole morning, listening to music. 
I just drift off. 1 often have 
moments of introspection. Some 
people would say I was a bit of a 
dreamer.” 

That desire to be left alone, for 
lengthy periods, stems from his 
childhood. An only child, he was 
bom into a Jewish household in 
North London; home was a de¬ 
tached house in Hendon, then a 
flat in CrickiewDOd. He was sent 
away to boarding school — 
Rockhurst near Newbury, then 
Berkhamsted School Hertford¬ 
shire — at the age of eight and his 
parents divorced when he was 12 . 
He is particularly dose to his 
mother. Jeanette, who co-founded 
the Chinacnaft chain — “We are 
both determined, committed, per¬ 
sistent but she is wanner than I 
am” — but he has not seen his 
father since the 1970s. Iipton finds 
it difficult to discuss this period of 
his life. “1 was very shy, until my 
early teens, and a bit of a loner. I 
had best friends but I was never a 
gang person. I did not have a 
particdaity distinguised academic 
career”. Nor was he good at sports. 
“I was more interested in electron¬ 
ics and making things like radio 
sets. I was a late developer.” 

He left school — “1 had no idea 
what I wanted to do” — joined an 
estate agent as an office boy—“at a 
time when property was very un¬ 
fashionable” — and got married 
when he was 23. Of his parents’ 
divorce; he says “Of course it has 
an effect... but then you make 
your own life.. .most of our friends 
tend not to be divorced.” He dearly 
needs continuity and security. He 
has lived in the same house — 
“pseudo-Georgian, built in 1936" 
— for 20 years. 

Late developer or not. Iipton 
more than makes up for it in flair 
and intuition. He regularly be¬ 
comes engrossed in detail, in so far 
as it involves die fixtures, fittings 
and design of a building — “I cany 
a camera with me everywhere I go 
so that I can bring back pictures of 
architectural details” — but readily 


admits he has little interest in 
finance — “1 can hold my own 
among very fine brains but, in my 
public life. I try to stick to my own 
territory.” Nor does he have much 
interest in his personal finances. 
“Someone else looks after ail my 
money. I think it’s better that way” 
And he is strongly opposed to fam¬ 
ily businesses. “I do not believe in 
them. Nothing is more important 
in my life than my children but if 
they are going to succeed in life they 
have got to do it themselves.” 

As for the state of the property' 
market, Lipton’s personal view is 
that rental income from commer¬ 
cial property will not start to grow 
again until 1994 and that house 
prices are “unlikely to pick up this 
year. We might have lower interest 
rates but people have been severely' 
chastened by recent events- It's all 
about confidence -1 don’t think we 
wall see housing back as a funda¬ 
mental investment, that we all tuck 
away under our belts, for many 
years. Housebuilders are going to 
have to offer better value which 
means, yes, house prices are going 
to fall further.” 

His own fortune has been deplet¬ 
ed by Stanhope's recent demise and 
his stake in the company, worth 
£100 million three years ago. is 
now worth £10 million. Liptcn 
remains philosophical. “It doesn’t 
count as money until you have 
actually put it in a bank! “And as 
for his daily requirements, he says. 
“I do not like to squander money. 1 
would still regard an expensive 
meal out as a treat and. if 1 went out 
to an off licence, i would spend £5 
or £10 on a bottle of wine, not £40." 
He avoids business dinners, prefer¬ 
ring an evening at home or at the 
theatre with his wife, and especially 
dislikes all-male functions. 

Garry Hart says Upton's mental 
processes are original and. at times, 
difficult to follow. “He is notorious 
for being inductive rather than 
deductive and that is an asset.” he 
says. “It's as if he can chuck lots of 
bits of a jigsaw into the air and then 
fit them together to form a picture. 
Most people work the other way 
round- Some people simply cannot 
foDow him because he is like an 
ever-expanding universe, jumping 
around all over the place". 

Upton would agree with him. “I 
believe in things like homeopathic 
medicine, acupuncture and reflex¬ 
ology. I only participate in them in 
a mild way. I am actually very 
conventional, but they are fascinat¬ 
ing subjects. 1 like going near the 
edge. Perhaps that is where, in 
financial terms. I have gone wrong. 

I should have been more concerned 
about selling every one of those 
buildings.”

Receivers 
hear bids 
for lilley 

By Martin Waller 

THE receivers to Lilley, the 
Scottish construction group 
that collapsed last week with 
debts of £60 million, have had 
^ offers for the majority of the 
™ group’s contracting arm. Bids 
for the property assets are 
invited for next week. 

Price Waterhouse, the re¬ 
ceiver, says it is unlikely that aD 
» the secured debts will be 
covered by the sales, which 
would leave ordinary share¬ 
holders with nothing. Talks 
are continuing with parties 
interested in buying the con¬ 
tracting businesses over the 
weekend, and the receivers are 
optimistic of completing sales 
next week. 

Iain Bennet, at Price 
VPwaterhouse. said even when 
offers had not been received 
for the entire business, bids 
had been submitted for signif¬ 
icant contracts, offering some 
value to creditors and &“realis- 
tic prospect" of jobs being 
secured. A successful disposal 
of assets within two weeks of 
the receivers going in would 
significantly improve die pros¬ 
pects of continued employ¬ 
ment for many employees, he 
said. 


Lloyd’s names consider test 
case against E&O insurers 


MOVES to Node an attempt 
by errors and omissions (E&O) 
underwriters at Lloyd's to ren¬ 
der their policies void are 
bang considered by Gooda 
Walker Action Group. E&O 
underwriters provide insur¬ 
ance cover for members’ and 
managing agents. 

One possibility, is that a 
single name will take action 
against the E&O insurers. 
Such a test case could make it 
unnecessary for the action 
group to pursue two separate 
cases, against members’ ami 
managing agents and their 
insurers. 

An action against the agents 
would have to be pursued 
without knewiedge of whether 
they had insurance cover and, 
consequently, whether funds 
were available to meet possible 
claims. 

Alfred Dall-Steinberg, who 
! stepped down as chairman of 
the action group last month, 
said the voiding action was 
limited to a few E&O insurers- 
However, names are con¬ 
cerned that the action could 
spread to indude them ad 

The action group is prepar¬ 
ing a case against 77 mem- 
bos’ and managing agents, to 


By Sarah Bagnall 

recover total losses estimated 
at £500 million. These result¬ 
ed from the heavy involve¬ 
ment of four Gooda Walker 
syndicates in London market 
excess (LMX) reinsurance 
business. 

However, these plans suf¬ 
fered a setback last month. 



DoB-Steinberg: concern 


when E&O insurers an¬ 
nounced that they considered 
themselves not to be liable for 
payouts on their policies on 
the ground that material in¬ 
formation had not been dis¬ 
closed. Arthur Andersen, 
liquidators to Gooda Walker, 
are investigating these daims, 
made on behalf of the E&O 
insurers by Reynolds Porter 
Chamberlain, a firm of solici¬ 
tors, in a letter dated Novem¬ 
ber 6 . 1992. 

One daim detailed in the 
letter, written to Alan Lewis, 
joint liquidator at Arthur An¬ 
dersen. is that in December 
1989 the board erf Gooda 
Walker decided that a particu¬ 
lar underwriter should be 
removed. 

In response to the letter, 
Lovell White Durrani acting 
on behalf of the liquidators, 
warned that unless the E&O 
insurers confirmed their cover, 
the liquidators would not pro¬ 
vide their agreed share or the 
£140,000 defence costs in 
connection with a case in New 
York to determine whether the 
legal forum for action against 
Lloyd’s by disgruntled US 
names should be in America 
or the UK.

ANY remaining hopes of an 
imminent cut in interest rates 
appear to have been dashed by 
the latest retail price index, 
which shows a rise in the 
underlying rate of inflation. 

The headline rate showed a 
fall of 0.4 of a percentage 
point to 2.6 per cent its lowest 
since August 1986. but the 
rise in the underlying rate to 
3.7 per cent proved unex¬ 
pected. 

A few stale bulls had been 
hoping that a further slow¬ 
down in the RP1 would have 
provided the government with 
an excuse to cut rates again, 
but it now looks as though 
they will have to wait until the 


Budget on March ] 6. Even so. 
the FT-SE 100 index moved 
into positive territory, having 
recovered an early nine-point 
fall and traded in narrow 
limits throughout the session. 

Helped by a firm start on 
Wall Street and some encour¬ 
aging American infladon sta¬ 
tistics, it ended the trading 
account 5.9 up at 2,765.1. 
The fell on the two-week 
period is 96.4. Turnover was 
virtually unchanged on Thurs¬ 
day’s close, with 616 million 
shares changing hands. 

Lucas Industries, a takeover 
favourite, fell 4p to 145p after 
Hoare Govett cut its forecast of 
pre-tax profits for the current

4 Few at BA openly 
discussed the historic 
drubbing at the hands

uncertain future were 
gelling into an 
unfamiliar form

than £2 million- The problems 
at Laura Ashley have been 
compounded by the profits 
warning earlier this week from 
Alexon, unchanged at 67p. 

Body Shop continued to- 
reel from this week's statement 
on Christmas trading, with 
the price falling 3p to 146p. 
Analysts daim there are few 
signs of an upturn. 

Enro Disney spurted 3 5p to 
785p after a boardroom re¬ 
shuffle. Robert Fitzpatrick has 
resigned as chairman, but will 
remain on the board. HIs

making losses and has failed 
to attract the number of vistors 
originally budgeted for. 

JUmrho, the international 
trading group, firmed Ip to 
72p as the deadline for the 
group's £170 million three-for- 
ten rights issue at 85p expired. 

It is feared that most of the

shoulder by institutional 
shareholders who have seen

group has this week been 
talking to brokers, some of 
wham have cut their profit 
forecasts. But most analysts 
remain optimistic about long¬ 
term prospects and regard the 
shares as a strong recovery 
play. 


the Lonrho share price fell 
sharply in the past year. Such 
an outcome will enable Dieter 
Bode, the German business¬ 
man. who has agreed to 
underwrite the issue, to lift his 
holding to 18.8 per cent 
having already bought half of 
the 15 per cent stake of Tiny 
Rowland, the chief executive. 

First National Finance, the 
consumer credit group, 
jumped ll^p to 68 p after 
announcing plans to return to 
the dividend list It also plans 
to raise £45.8 million via a 
two-for-seven rights issue of 
convertible preference shares 
designed to strengthen its 
capital base and improve li¬ 
quidity. This is in spite of 
results for the year revealing a 
further loss of £31.8 million 
(£33.7 million loss).

J ust what a salesman-says about 
the dost of a mortgage or 
insurance polity , is frequently 
disputed afterwards. But it is hard 
for customers to prove that their 
recollections are correct Banks, 
building societies and insurance 
companies often rely on belittling 
the financial experience of home- 
buyers or policyholders and overstat¬ 
ing the experience of their sales 
teams. 

Building societies could get. away 
with that untfl this week.when seven 
were fined for misleading first-time 
buyers about loan costs. All pleaded 
guilty at Doncaster Magistrates’ 
Court when faced with evidence 
from inspectors from the trading 
standards department 
The excuses flowed thick and fast 
The trained staff were out of the 
office. The trained staff were dealing 
with another customer. It was lunch¬ 
time. They were busy. The system 
had now been changed so it could 
not happen again, they chorused, 
after paying .fines totalling £16.500. 

What is disquieting is that every 
society 'visited by the trading stan-

daids inspectors got it wrong. Those 
not in the dock were simply lucky 
that they do not have brandies In the 
centre of Doncaster. In some cases, 
customers were not told that dis¬ 
counts for first-time buyers were for 
one year only,, Payments would 
suddenly rise by£46 afrerayearand 
loans would cost £10,000 more over 
the full term than had been implied 
by sales people. 

Equally important, annual per¬ 
centage rates were not always given 
for Joans. Only flat rates were quoted 
in some cases. One society even 
advertised loans with the wrong 
APR. This figure is intended to give 
borrowers a way of directly compar¬ 
ing different loans. 

It should enable a borrower 
thinking, about a fixed-rate mort¬ 
gage to compare it with the variable 
rate on offer, and with other lenders’ 
rates. It can happen that if variable 
rates do not rise during the period of

the fix, the guaranteed rate will be 
no lower, because of application fees 
and other costs. Customers need to 
know what they are paying, other¬

Fixed and capped rates may be

Called to account for 
mistaken identity 


By Lindsay Cook 
MONEY EDITOR 

IT IS the stuff of nightmares. 
Your financial identity is as¬ 
sumed by someone else and 
debts are run up. Two people 
with the same name banking 
at die same branch find that 
they are given each other’s 
financial records OT that 
money disappears from their 
accounts for pay men ts they 
did not make. 

A call at 3 am reveals that 
someone else has bought a car 
and furniture . using your 
name and address and has not 
paid die bills. The private 
detective wants to reclaim 
them now {see steny below). 

Often it is only when apply¬ 
ing for credit dxat cases of mis¬ 
taken identity, whether delib¬ 
erate or by accident, are dis¬ 
covered. In some cases, people 
are refused credit because 
county court records of debts 
are inaccurate. Others are 
blacklisted because a previous 
owner of thdr home ouLnear 
neighbour has a bad credit 
record. 

Eric Howe, tee data protec¬ 
tion registrar, estimates that 
30 per cent of tee complaints 
received each year involve 
credit, and cases of mistaken 
identity are a “significant 
number” of these. 

From the end of July, credit 
reference agencies should not 
supply information to credit 
givers about third parties who 
are not a member of a credit 
applicant's family; or on any¬ 
one who does not live in tee 
applicant’s household. How¬ 
ever, while this change will 
help people who find it diffi¬ 
cult to get a loan because a 
previous occupant of their 
home was a bad payer or 
someone with a similar name 
in the same small town did a 
moonlight flit, it wiQ not help 
with the large numbers of 
mistakes that get on to public 
and credit reference records. 

John Lamidey, assistant 
data protection registrar re¬ 
sponsible for finance and cred¬ 
it said problems arose because 
information was supplied by 
the creditor to county courts. 
Often when people reneged 
on a debt they also moved 
house and the creditor had to 
use a debt tracing agency to 
find them. The agencies were 
paid by results and might not 
be scrupulous in establishing 
that the name and address 
teey supplied were those of the 
person owing the money. 

“The debt tracing agencies 
are paid by results and often 
don’t get tee right man. The 
lender whacks in a court case 
and it can go through the sys¬ 
tem with me wrong person

Paper chase Craig Lord inspects the invoice addressed to his Berkshire home 


named and not knowing any¬ 
thing about it The first time 
they find out about a county 
court judgment against them 
is when they apply for credit 
When tee information sup¬ 
plied to tee court is wrong it 
takes a lot of unscramUmg. 
We are looking at tee prob¬ 
lem,” he said. 

In other cases, it is the 
quality of tee information that 
the courts accept in a case teat 
cause tee difficulty. “The clas¬ 
sic case was a man with the 
initials MRS. The case was 
recorded against Mr and Mrs 
at his parents’ address and his 
record remained spotless," Mr 
Lamidey said. 

The courts were prepared to 
accept cases with only a sur¬ 
name and street arid town 
name. This could cause prob¬ 
lems for people with tee same 
surname living in a long road. 

“There is nothing we can do 
about this because tee court 
records are not computerized. 
When we investigate cases it is 
patently obvious teat m ista k e n 
identity is tee cause of many of 
the problems," he added. 


Last years data protection 
registrar’s annual report de¬ 
tailed many cases where mis¬ 
taken identity caused prob¬ 
lems. One credit applicant was 
refused a loan on the basis of 
information on his credit ref¬ 
erence file relating to someone 
with a different name who 
used to live near him A couple 
were refused credit because of 
a number of items relating to 
another family with the same 
surname living in another 
street in the same village. 

One person received a vehi¬ 
cle registration document for a 
car he did not own. He told 
tee Driver and Vehicle Licens¬ 
ing Agency he was not tee 
owner but still received a 
parking ticket for tee car. 
Investigations revealed that 
someone with a similar name 
and address was the real 
owner of tee car. 

In other cases, it is wrong 
information about the right 
account, such as the customer 
who was recorded as owing 
£99.998 because of computer 
error when a loan was paid off 

Some credit reference agen¬ 


cies plan to restrict informa¬ 
tion about third parties from 
April—three months ahead of 
the deadline. Under the new 
rules, they will be able to give 
information about people of 
the same surname at the same 
address and about the appli¬ 
cant from a previous address 
and people with the same 
surname living there at tee 
same time. 

But if a married couple use 
different surnames and do not 
have joint accounts, the credit 
reference agencies should not 
supply information on the 
husband when a wife applies 
for credit or vice versa, Mr 
Lamidey said. However, if the 
couple have one joint account 
they can each find out all 
about each others' credit card 
bills and personal loans by 
applying to a credit reference 
agency for information about 
foemsebea There partners'de¬ 
tails win then be supplied as a 
mailer of course. 

A nanny or lodger with a 
different name should not tar¬ 
nish a family's reputation after 
Juty. Currently they could. 


Haunted by an opposite number 


THE issuing of the same National 
Insurance number to two different people 
with similar names eventually led to one 
of teem being called at three in the 
morning lay a private detective trying to 
trace a car and furniture he wished to 
repossess (Lindsay Cook writes}. 

Craig Lord, a journalist on The Times, 
first noticed something was wrong in 
October 1991 when he thought there was 
a discrepancy in his. Nl contributions 
record. He was later told by the social 
security department that two people with 
the same surname had been given the 
same number. As he was tee younger of 
the two he had to be given a new number. 

He was asked to take all his P60s to the 
DSS at Bracknell to prove who he was 
and what he had paid into the Nl fond. “I 
found this rather irritating: it seemed tee 
mistake was theirs but tee onus was on 
me to prove teat 1 had been paying 
regular Nl contributions. If I could not 
supply P60s going bade to 1978 it was 
inferred that the contributions would not 
be allocated to me," he said. . 

At the time he began receiving calls 


from people claiming to be from private 
detective agencies working on behalf of 
finance companies. “They declined*to 
rive thdr names, and would only say that 
they believed 1 owed them money on 
goods that had been bought on hire 
purchase," Mr Lord said. 

They then suggested a relative at the 
g fl j pp address in Berkshire had bought 
die goods—but Mr Lord lives alone. 

He later received a four-page apology 
from tee DSS and forgot about tee inci¬ 
dents -until December last year when his 
pay slip suddenly showed tee old Nl 
number. His wages department said that 
the contributions agency had now issued 
teat number for him. Since the old 
number returned he has received two 
»*atig, one at 3 am, from someone calling 
himself a detective who said he wanted to 
repossess a car, among other goods which 

had not been paid for. 

Last week, fie received an invoice from 
Sovereign Finance of Manchester: this 
suggfffpiri that someone with tee same 
surname, c/o Craig Lord and at his 
address, had leased goods ar a cost of 


£5037 a monte. When contacted by Mr 
Lord. Sovereign Finance already knew he 
worked for The Times. “I asked if it was 
customary for finance companies to have 
people’s names on their books who had 
never signed any documents authorising 
tee use of their name." Mr Lord said. 

On Thursday, after Weekend Money 
contacted the firm. Steve Wrench, from 
- the company’s collections team, told Mr 
Lord that the invoice was for VAT 
purposes and that he would not be 
pursued far any money. The firm toki 
Weekend Money teat the account went 
bade to December 1987, but it would not 
say what had been leased or where it was 
delivered. 

John Lamidey- assistantdaraprotection 
registrar, said tee registry was concerned' 
that NI numbers should not be used as 
identifiers. "The credit industry is always 
looking for* tee most unique identifier so 
that accounts cannot be confused. Our 
view is that it was not created to help 
companies for credit purposes-” The 
widespread use of the number could lead 
to abuse, he added.

and no doubt advising cm tee need 
for endowment insurance and many 
other expensive extras. 

It’s bust fix it 

A ndrew Large showed himself 
a worthy chairman of tee 
Securities and Investments 
Board this week when he publicly 
demanded that standards and prac¬ 
tices among investment salesmen 
must be improved. In a seven-page 
letter to Sir Gordon Downey, chair- 


ties and tty widespread public con¬ 
cern about mis-selling of life 
products. After six months in the job, 
he realises that improvements can¬ 
not be left to the investment industry 
alone. 

As the head of Prudential Assur¬ 
ance pointed out in the autumn 
when calling for statutory regulation 
of investment firms, self-regulation 
has been hied since April 1988, and 
has failed miserably. 

Mr Large is trying to strengthen 
regulation of the firms that deal with 
private investors and has no inten¬ 
tion of letting all the firms that 
passed muster for the present regime 
to get automatic authorisation under

the improved system. That would be 
askin g for yet more trouble. He also 
is keen teat the public — and not 
only financial experts—should have 
a say in the way the new regulatory 
body is run. A majority of its board 
should be public interest members 
and not apologists for tee insurance 
industry, he says. 

Investments may be complicated 
but if people of the calibre of say a 
Queen’s Counsel or the chief exec¬ 
utive of a publidy quoted retailer 
cannot understand what the in¬ 
dustry is saying, it will become pa¬ 
tently obvious that companies are 
trying to hide something. 

After more than two years of dis¬ 
cussion about whether brokers 
should reveal how much they earn in 
commission to customers before they 
sell a policy, many in tee industry 
accept teat such details will probably 
have to be disclosed by both in¬ 
dependent brokers and tied sales¬ 
men before too long. The Office of 
Fair Trading is likely to back this 
course and it would seem that the 
SIB may not resist it as strongly as it 
has in the past 


IN MAY 1991. Kathleen 
Shuffleboteam noticed that 
cashpoint withdrawals were 
being made from her Barclays 
Bank account. In the next two 
months, a total of £640 was 
withdrawn, mostly in tranches 
of £50, the maximum that 
could have been withdrawn in 
one day. The withdrawals 
were all made in Mis Shuffle- 
botham’s home town, bat on 
every occasion, she said she 
and her card were elsewhere. 

So far, Barclays has refused 
to refund her money. Now she 
and her solicitor believe tee 
may be the victim of a case of 
mfetala»n identity at her bank 
branch. 

This week, she joined her 
name to a court action against 
large high street banks, alleg¬ 
ing “phantom withdrawals” 
through cashpoint machines 
and challenging the banks to 
defend their systems. J Keith 
Park, a Merseyside solicitor, is 
fi ghtin g nine banks on behalf ’ 
of 750 customers. A High 
Court hearing will take place 
on February 19, when the 
judge will set a deadline far 
more bank customers to be 
joined to the action against the 
banks. 

Mis Shuffleboteam recently 
went into her bank to open an 
account for her son and was 
asked for her account number. 
When tee produced it and it 
was keyed into the bank's 


When two into 
one does go 
at the bank 


computer, a set of bank details 
with a different address, relat¬ 
ing to another Mrs Shuffle- 
botham, showed up on the 
screen. The bank confirmed 
that there was another custom¬ 
er with the same name and 
initials, who was no relation, 
banking at the same branch. 

J. Keith Parkis now investi¬ 
gating the possibility that the 
bank assumed that the two 
Mrs Shufflebothams were one 
and tee same and gave them 
bote tee same account num¬ 
ber and personal identifica¬ 
tion number (PIN). Banks 
insist that no cashpoint with¬ 
drawals can be made without 
both the card and the PIN. 
Mis Shnfflebotham has not 
received any bank gftrtwnpnrc 
far some time and discovered 
withdrawals were being made 
from her account only when 
tee asked for her balance at 
the bank Nick Davies, a 
solicitor at J Keith Park said it 
was also possible tear a new 
card and PIN number could 


have been sent to the wrong 
address. 

Mrs Shuffleboteam said: 
This has meant a terrible lot 
of stress for the family. The 
bank even asked if my 73- 
year-old mother could have 
used my card to make with¬ 
drawals.” The bank would not 
discuss the possibility that it 
had confused two different 
people on the ground of bank¬ 
ing confidentially, tee added. 

Barclays said it was contin¬ 
uing to investigate tee raw 

Another Barclays customer 
also believes he has been the 
victim of mistaken identity. 
John McKenna discovered 
teal £160 had been with¬ 
drawn from his account via a 
cashpoint which had been 
credited with two payments of 
£80 from tee Enterprise Al¬ 
lowance Scheme for small 
businesses. Mr McKenna has 
never used a cashpoint and 
says he never intends to do so. 
He then found that his neph¬ 
ew, who has die same initials 


and who banks at the same 
branch of Barclays, had re¬ 
ceived a new card and PIN. 
His nephew believed teat 
these had been validly issued 
and had withdrawn the El 60. 

The bank argued teat it did 
not use names to identity 
customers but went by account 
numbers. 

Mr McKenna was angry at 
the bank's attitude and its 
initial refosal to consider reim¬ 
bursing him. "Until I was able 
to prove categorically what 
had gone on. there was never 
even the slightest indication 
that they were prepare! to 
contemplate the possibility of 
an error within the bank and 
this, quite frankly, is what has 
made me extremely angiy." 

Barclays said confusion had 
arisen because the branch 
wanted to link Mr McKenna's 
new business account with his 
existing current account to 
make sure it used tee same 
address for both accounts. 
“Unfortunately, due to human 
error at the branch, Mr Mc¬ 
Kenna's new account was not 
linked to his existing account 
but to that of his nephew, who 
shares tee same name and 
initials and who also banks at 
tiie same branch.” The mis¬ 
take was corrected. 

The bank has now offered to 
reimburse Mr McKenna.

portfolio. 

Mercury Global Bond Fund invests in 
high-quality bonds issued by governments

proportion of its holdings are currently 
in foreign currency bonds, giving 
UK investors good protection and the 
potential for gain in the case of sterling

potential of bonds. Clients who invested 
at the launch, less than two years ago, 
have enjoyed a total return of 36.9% -

THE Inland Revenue is re¬ 
newing'its efforts to persuade 
up to 10 mfliion savers to 
daim back £800 m31kro in tax 
deducted from interest paid 
on savings. It launched a £2 
million campaign this week to 
tell pensioners and married 
women how to daim the 
overpaid tax 

However, those who try to 
get the money may have 
difficulty in getting any help 
from die bank or building 
society where the account is 
held. This is particularly the 
case for those who have lost 
more than £50 of their interest 
and want to daim it back 
before the end of the tax year, 
as they are entitled to da 

Many investors are finding 
that banks and building soci¬ 
eties are unhelpful in provid¬ 
ing the certificates detailing 
how much tax has been de¬ 
ducted. They must be included 
with claims for repayment 
Others have stopped provid¬ 
ing interest statements to sav¬ 
ers to cut costs. 

Abbey National automati¬ 
cally sends all its investors a 
statement at the end of the tax 
year detailing the interest 
earned by an account before 
and after tax The Halifax 
Building Society, which does 
not send regular statements to 
an investors, is planning to 
send statements to those savers 
it has identified as being able 
to daim back tax. It has also 
tokl parents and children to 
make sure their accounts are 
registered for non-payment of 
tax if they qualify.

er wrote to six building societ¬ 
ies and one bank, on 
November 30, asking for cer-

have to wait for the replace¬ 
ment certificates, due to be 
posted on February 9. 

Most experts advise those

wishing to sell to do so after 
paying toe third instalment 
This is because the price 
historically falls immediately 
before the payment date; and 
rises afterwards. Stephen 
Owen, telecommunications 
analyst at James CapeL the 
stockbroker, said: “I know it’s 
a difficult thing to do psycho¬ 
logically, but you usually find 
it’s better to paytost and then

using the profit to invest in 
shares in BT3.

Fighting insurers on the home front 


By Sara McConnell 


A HOME owner in Chiswick, 
West London, who has been 
fighting a Ihreesyear battle 
with Commercial Union over 
a subsidence dsnm is living in 
one room of her house, which 
she sags is otherwise almost, 
uninhabitable. Commercial 
Union finally admitted this 
week that it had taken “longer 
than it should have” to settle 
die claim, but has still not 
made a final payouL 

However. the company 
challenged darms from Anna 
Kythreotis, the owner of the 
property, that its decision to 
accept the cheapest estimate of 
three quoted had been a big 
cause of the delays and frad led 
to unnecessary deterioration 
of the house: Since the first 
signs of subsidence appeared, 
at the beginning of January 
1990. the house has been 
“cracking up", according to 
Miss Kythreotis. She churned 
the firm of buflders approved 
by Commercial Union to deco¬ 
rate die rnridp of the house 
had caused farther damage. 

In January 1990. Miss 
Kythreotis noticed cracking in 
the first floor balcony of her 
three bedroom terraced house. 
She contacted Commercial 
Union, ho- insurer, which 
appointed a loss adjuster to 
inspect the property. The loss 
adjuster decided that there 
was evidence of subsidence at 
the bade of the bouse, bat that 
cracking in the balcony was 
not due to subsidence. Com¬ 
mercial Union wanted the 
property to be monitored 
throughout the summer to see 
if further cracks appeared. 

Insurers are increasingly re¬ 
luctant to pay out for under¬ 
pinning in subsidence cases 
because it is so expensive. 
Huge increases in the number 
and size of subsidence claims 
1991 have made them 


m 


more reluctant to settte claims 
without question. Instead, 
they insist on a period of 
“monitoring" before they wflU 
pay for repairs. - 
: Miss Kythreotis paid 
£ 6,000 for the balcony to be 
repaired, after discovering 
that the cracks had led to dry 
rot However, cracks soon 
reappeared in the same places 


as before and she also discov¬ 
ered that doors and windows 
in the room opening off the 
balcony no longer fitted 
because the floor had sunk. 

Finally, in January 1991. a 
year after she had fist contact¬ 
ed Commercial Union, the 
company agreed that file 
cracking of the balcony was 
due to subsidence after all and 
gave her file go-ahead to get 
estimates The estimate from 
file btulding firm eventually 
chosen by Commercial Union 
for the repair of the balcony 
was thousands of pounds 
cheaper than the other two 
estimates, at £894. Two other 
buildeis asked to quote for the 
underpinning of file balcony 
quoted £3.875 and £3.620. 
Miss Kythreotis pointed out to 
Ctonrnrcrrial Union that there 
was a discrepancy of more 
than £3,000 between the esti¬ 
mate accepted by Commercial 
Union and the others and 
insisted that Commercial 
Union agree to accept liability 
if fiie builder's work was 
unsatisfactory. Commercial 
Union agreed to fins. 

- Commercial Union said this 
week: "We do not always 
choose the cheapest estimate. 
We choose what we would 
regard as the best estimate: 
One criterion, is, of course, 
price, otherwise we would 
nave to put up premiums. But 
there is also the idea of 
quality.” It said the builder's 
estimate bad been accepted as 
reasonable by Miss Kyth- 
reotis's own engineer. The 
firm was also a member of the 
Federation of Master Build¬ 
ers, whidi should have meant 
it was capable of doing the 
work it was contracted to do. 
Commercial Union said.' 

‘ Miss Kythreotis argued that 
Commercial Union should 
have been alerted to the possi¬ 
bility that file builder's work 
could be unsatisfactory 
because its estimate was so 
much lower than the others. 

The Association of .British 
Insurers said householders 
who were worried that one

nificantly lower than others

Hurricanes blow 
an ill wind for 
the under-insured 


By Karen Woolfson 


WINDS have readied hurri¬ 
cane lewd in Scotland fins 
week, reminding home own¬ 
ers of the January stonns that 
caused devastating damage 
three years ago. Not all those 
who suffered loss have re¬ 
ceived compensation from in¬ 
surers, though- 

Motorists who have third 
party, fire and theft cover face 
the most difficulty. They can 
dafan compensation from 
their own insurer in the case 
of fire or theft only. To daim 
from the other party they 
must prove negligence. 

So, if a chimney stack is 
tom off a roof in a storm and 
fells on to a vehicle, the car 
owner can make a claim 
against the property owner 
only by proving the fetter 
knew the chimney stack was 
unsafe and was. t he refore, 
negligent This could be a 
probtem. The property owner 
might have to be taken to 
court, but m the event of a 
successful daim win have to 
pay compensation out of his 
own pocket or from his bond¬ 
ings insurance. If there is no 
negligence, the bafldmgs* in¬ 
surer will not pay out on 
behalf of flbe pohcynoMer. ' 

In another case; the driver 
of a vehicle recently had to 
stop'suddenly when a heavy 
crane book smashed through 
the roof of bet car and 
shattered the windscreen. Al¬ 
though the driver has third 
party insurance; there is a 
good chance the contractor or 
crane driver could be pursued 
for car damage and, if ap- 
pficabte injtuy. The crane was 
erected next to a thorough¬ 
fare, so the contractor should 
have ensured it did not injure 
pedestrians or damage cars. 

If involved in an accident 
with a crane, a faffing tree or 
anything else, drivers would 
be well advised to call the 
police to the scene, even if 
they are not hurt Police 


presence will not alter file 
daim. but will corroborate 
what happened. 

Witnesses are also invalu¬ 
able, but if none is available 
the driver may be able to 
obtain other proof, such as 
sldd marks on the road. Then 
the driver will need to seek 
advice from a solicitor or, if 
covered by insurance for legal 
expenses, the insurer, who 
wffl act on his behalf. 

Some insurance policies 
automatically include legal 
cover, such as Sun

Plus policy legal cover can be

al Accident recently Launched 
its MotorOptkws poKcy that 
gives people legal expenses 
cover for an extra £ 10 . 

Michael Saunders, under¬ 
writing services manager at 
AA Insurance, says: “No mo¬ 
torist should be without legal 
expenses cover and we onty 
sefl motor insurance with it, 
which is more relevant to 
people who don’t have com¬ 
prehensive covet” 

The driver can daim the 
damage to the car, personal 
injuries and any other ex¬ 
penses that arise from not 
having a vehicle- These may 
include a hire car for a 
reasonable period, to allow 
for the car to be repaired, or 
for the owner to pay for 
replacement, taxi or public 
transport feres, if a car is not 
hired, and loss of earnings. 

Problems often arise with 
storm damage. If it arises 
from natural causes, there is 

nobody to sue arid it is termed 

"an Act of God". 

Clive Langhurst, of the As¬ 
sociation of British Insurers, 
says: “It’s a defence against 
liability. So if a persan.’s roof 
came off in a storm and fell on 
a car, the owner could say it 
was not me who caused the 
roof to come off tad God." 

After the January 1990 and 
October 1987 stonns, people 
daimed far cars final had over-

Motorists with folly com¬ 
prehensive insurance are 
covered against accidental

ance covets damage to a car, 
but, Gail Roberts, underwrit¬ 
ing manager of Sun Affiance, 
says, if the insure r can not 
recover the money from the 
other parties because it can¬ 
not prove liability then the 
driver would forfeit the no 
rlnhrre bonus. 



line of dispute: Anna Kythreotis t-Jaims her house has been cracking up since 1990 


a note to accompany the 
estimate. If one estimate un¬ 
dercuts the others dramatical¬ 
ly. the policyholder should ask 
the builder to explain why. 

The house was finally un¬ 
derpinned by the firm that 
produced the lowest estimate 
and passed as acceptable - by 
Miss Kythreotis’s engineer 


two years after foe original 
rlahn was made. C omm ercial 
Union refused to accept the 
estimate for the decoration of 
the inside of the bouse quoted 
by another firm, saying it was 
too high. It would only accept 
a lower quotation from the 
firm that had previously sub¬ 
mitted the lovrot quotation for 


repairing foe balcony and 
underpinning. 

In June, Miss Kythreotis 
wrote to this firm cataloguing 
"faulty and remedial decorat¬ 
ing work and the damage 
caused to my property by your 
workmen”. This included pa¬ 
pering and plastering the 
walls before repairing foe 


cracks caused by foe underpin¬ 
ning and failing to cany out 
the work set out in fiie esti¬ 
mate. so that “water was com¬ 
ing down fiie freshly papered 
walls.”. She also told the firm 
that workmen had damaged 
furniture and fittings, indud- 
ing tearing a hale in a carpet. 

The director of the firm 
rejected Miss Kythreotis*s ac¬ 
cusation of unacceptable work 
as "totally and very unjust” 
and said the work had been 
approved by Miss Kythreotis’s 
engineer. The engineer said 
he had not issued a certificate 
of satisfactory completion of 
fiie decoration inside, only (be 
underpinning. 

Commercial Union has just 
agreed to pay for Miss 
Kythreotis to stay in a hotel 
while another firm of builders 
redecorates the house. It took 
nearly a month for the com¬ 
pany to agree to this, despite 
the fact that Miss Kythreotis 
would not have a bathroom 
for three weeks, while the 
bathroom walls and ceiling 
were replaced. Under the 
terms of her polity. Miss 
Kythreotis has the right to 
daim up to 20 per cent of the 
amount her home is insured 
for to cover the cost of staying 
in a hoteL Commercial Union 
said its earlier hesitation was 
due to a misunderstanding. 

The company also said this 
week that a would send its 
local claims manager round to 
the property to speed up the 
repairs.

SHAREHOLDERS in ihe 
City & Commercial split capi¬ 
tal investment mist yesterday 
i voted to wind up the fund. A 
further meeting next month 
will decide the details of how 
this will happen- 

Split capital investment 
trusts have become more wide¬ 
spread in recent years, but few 
private shareholders under¬ 
stand the importance of sell¬ 
ing the shares at the right 
time. 

Nigel Sidebottom, associate 
director of Gerrard Vivian 
Gray, the stockbroker, said: 
“Many shareholders hang on 
to income shares for far too 
long.” 

City & Commercial share¬ 
holders can still sell their 
shares in the market before the 
winding up and some will be 
better off doing that rather 
than waiting until the end. 
even though they will have to 
pay stockbroker’s commission 
and the income shares will 
miss out on the final dividend. 

SpUr capital investment 
trusts have a limited life, 
usually seven or ten years, after 
which the hind is wound up or 
reconstructed. Yeoman Invest¬ 
ment Trust shareholders have 
just voted ro extend its life by 
six years to the end of 1998. 

Splits have several dasses of 
shares: capital shares that take 
all the capital growth; income 
shares that receive all the 
dividends; and sometimes 
zero dividend preference 
shares (zeros) that pay a fixed, 
although not guaranteed, 
amount on winding up. City & 
Commercial, managed by 
Invesco MIM. has capital and 
income shares. 

As a general principle, when 


splits come within one year of. 
winding up. shareholders 
need to watch the share pries 
and net asset values carefully 
in case they are better off 
selling early. The decision will 
be different for different doss- 
es of shares. 

Provided the price of in¬ 
come shares is higher than the 
redemption price, taxpayers 
are almost certainly better off 
selling them early rather than 
taking the large final 
dividend. 

With City & Commercial, 
the decision is marginal. Mr 
Sidebottom said- “On Febru¬ 
ary 2. income shares will be 
repaid at 25p plus a final 
dividend. The dividend will be 
about 7.68p gross, worth 
5.76p to basic-rale taxpayers 
and 4.6p to higher-rare tax¬ 
payers and making combined 
payments of 30.76p or 29.6p. 
At present, you can sell them 
in the market for 31.5p. worth 
about 31 p after costs. - * 

Once investors are within a 
year of redemption they can be 
fairly certain that every time 
income shares go ex-dividend 
they will fall in value and not 
climb batik to where they were 
before. 

Nigel Sidebottom said: 
“You are definitely on the 
downward slope. You will 
have large dividends coming 
through, but it is belter for a 
taxpayer to be out of the 
shares." 

Vivien Gould, director of 
River & Mercantile Invest¬ 
ment Management, a split 
capital specialist, said: “The 
income share price will hit a 
peak at some period before the 
winding up date because it is 
reflecting a substantial

amount of dividend income 
that it is receiving. If interest 
rates are coining down and 
the dividend is moving up on 
income shares, the share price 
wfll rise even if winding up is a 
number of years off. 

“Everyone thought that in¬ 
come share prices would come 
back dramatically, but in reali¬ 
ty they haven't. Experience 
has shown that income shares 
have actually managed to 
retain their premium, even 
when the winding up date is

Schroders adds a bit 
of Pep to the trust 


By Sara McConnell 

AN INVESTMENT trust 
where shares can be put into a 
personal equity plan, allowing 
investors to take tax-free in¬ 
come, is to .be launched, by 
Schroder Investment Man¬ 
agement cm February 10. 

The Schroder trust will be a 
split capital investment trust 
with three dasses of share. 
. income shares, capital shares 
and zero dradetiff preference 
shares. All the dasses of share 
will be available separately. 
The majority, 57 per cent of 
the shares issued wiH be 
income shares. These are the 
only class of share that can be 
held within a Pep and Schro- 
ders is expecting most inves¬ 
tors to opt for these as investors 
have the chance of a high 
yield, tax free in a Pep plan. 

Income shares should pay 
an initial gross dividend yield 
of 9 per cent Those holding 
the snares within a Pep will 
pay an annual plan charge of 
I per cent reducing the yield 
to 8 per cent Holders of 
income shares will receive 100 
percent of the income earned 
by the trust 

They will also share in 
capital growth if the underly¬ 
ing growth of the portfolio is 
5.2 per cent compound a year 
or more. However, unlike 
other income funds where 
investors can get bade their 
original investment as long as 
the market does not felt 
underlying capital growth of 
at least 42 percent compound 
a year over the nine-year life of 
the fond wifi be needed to 
return shareholders' original 
investment 

Bridget Cleverly, marketing 
manager at Schroders. said 
investors looking for income 
were taking more of a ride 
b e c a us e they had to rely on a 
certain amount of capital 
growth before being able to 
recoup their original invest¬ 
ment but she added: “We 
would be confident this is 
achievable.” 

Holders of capital shares are 
not entitled to income. How¬ 
ever, John Govett deputy 
chief executive of Schroder 
Investment Management and 
chairman of the Schroder 
Split Fund, said capital shares 
should have a good chance of 
growth because the target 
yield for the underlying assets 
of the portfolio was 5.5 per 
cent, tower than some other 
comparable trusts. The lower 
the target yield on the underly¬

stocks and shares 


INVESTORS sedcing a high 
feed inanire may ntf 
ly consider an investment in 
shares. StartmgyieUsonanli- 
nagr shares tend to be low and 
dividends often fluctuate. 
However, there are some 

Stocks and share s t hat ran 

provide a 7 high fixed income. 
Lower interest rates on depos¬ 
its have made them increas¬ 
ingly attractive. But investors 
need to proceed with caution 
when buying. 

Company debentures, loan 
stock, and preference shares 
all pay a fixed return. A deben¬ 
ture is a loan to a company

assets, soda, as property. The 
retam is fixed at the outset and 
income is normally paid half 
yearly. There is a stated re¬ 
demption date when a com¬ 
pany is pledged to repay the 
lo an- Sometimes companies 
reserve the right to repay at 
anytratebetw^tworedemp- 
tion dates. If interest rates are 
low. they may decide to do so 
at the first opportunity. 

Jeremy Lewis, of Seymour 
Pierce Butterfield, the stock¬ 
broker, said: “Debentures 
work Kke gifts, but since no 
company can provide the 
same lewd of guarantee as the 
government; investors are tak¬ 
ing somewhat more ride. The 
advantage is that yields on 
debentures are normally 
around 1.5 per cent to 2 per 
cent higher than gifts.** 

If a company fails, deben¬ 
ture holders are first in the 
queue to get their money hack, 
after the repay m ent of any 
bank borrowings. If the assets 


against which th<y are secured 
have been correctly valued 
they should be repaid in full. 
Next in line are loan stock 
holders. Loan stocks also pay a 
fixed rate of interest and have 
fixed repa ym ent dates. But 
they are unsecured,»the risk 
of non-repayment is greater. 

■' The pace of debentures and 
loan stock varies with interest 
rate changes. If the interest 
rate an the stock is high 
relative to ennent rales, a 
pre miu m win be charged, 
'which means there will be a 
capital loss at redemption. 
However, if there is another 
fall in rates and the debentures 
are sokTprior to redemption 
there could be a capital gain. 

Debentures available in¬ 
clude Asda Property 2011, 
which has a gross redemption 
yield of 10.81- per cent gross, 
and Seagram 2012, offering

2001-06. with a gross re¬ 
demption yield of ll.li per 
cent, and Debenhams 2002- 
07, offering 9.57 per cent. 

Nefl Staptey, managing di- 
. rector of NalW^t Stockbro¬ 
kers, said- “During the sixties 
and seventies, debentures and 
loan stock woe a popular way 
for companies to raise extra 

finance and it was crwtrmnn 

for private dfents to have a 
mixture of gibe, debentures 
and loan stock in their portfo¬ 
lios. However, high i nte r e st 
rates during foe eighties made 
businesses hesitapt to issue 
expensive, long-dated loans 
and they looked to other types 
of funding such as rights 
issues and eurobonds. So fire 
supply of debenture and loan 
stock rather dried up- Now 
that rates are down again, 

thraig h enmpaniwi may start 

looking at this route again."

home owners who thought 
they would lose money on me 
safe of their borne. Of those, 
78 per cent said they now 
budgeted more carefully than 
they did a year ago. 

Researchers found that the 
ages and social status of those 
who said they had beco me 
more careful with money, cor¬ 
responded dosety to those who 
described themselves as more 
financially insecure. 

Nearly half of all those ques¬ 
tioned, 42 per cent, said they 
fete less financially secure now 
than a fewyears aga Howev¬ 
er, those aged 35 to 54 felt 

most financially insecure, pos¬ 
sibly because they were in the 
age group most likely to have' 
children- Low household in¬ 
comes also contributed to feel-, 
ings of financial insecurity. 
Unemployment, job insecurity 
and theinoeased cost affiving 
were fire reasons most often 
put forward for financial 
nervousness. 

More than half agreed .that 
they would fed more searre if 
they had managed to save in 
the past However; three in ten - 
do not save at aft. saying they 
cannot afford to do so. Those 
who do save regularly dp so 
“for the future”. 

Building societies were the 
i most popular destinations for 
savings, favoured by 51 per. 
cent. National Savings were 
chosen by only 6 per cent 

Despite fiie heightened 
awareness of file need to save, 

! only one in four Britons had 
1 taken advice about savings. . 

Maurice Paterson, deputy 
managin g director at Scottish 
Amicable, said: "There is no 
-doubt that the British would 
fed more financially stable 
now; had they managed to 
save more in flie past Howev¬ 
er, they seem remarkably 
averse to seeking advice about 
the advantages and disadvan¬ 
tages of file various methods of 
savings and investments open 
to them." 

The survey also highlighted 
widespread ignorance among 
those in fuD-Sme work about 
how long employers would 
continue to pay salaries if an 
employee was 3L A quarter of 
respondents said they did not 
know. 

Robert Worcester, manag¬ 
ing director rtf Mori, described 
this ignorance as “a castiga¬ 
tion on companies” for not 


investors to boy and sell de¬ 
bentures and loan stocks that 
are still being traded. Michael 
Thomson, of Gerrard Vivian 
Gray, the stockbroker, said: “If 
you want to buy, it may 
sometimes be better to be 
patient and wait until a suit¬ 
able debenture or loan stock 
' comes on to the market that 
som&ody has derided to sefl. 
rattier than to buy willy nilly.” 

Another option for those 
seeking a high fixed income is 
preference shares. A number 
of institutions, such as Nat¬ 
ional Westminster, General 
Accident and Commercial 
Union have issued pr efe re nce 
shares. They are generally 
irredeemable, so there is no 
date on which holders can ex¬ 
pect repayment at par value. 
They will undoubtedly be at¬ 
tractive to some investors who 
want to have the certainly of a 
fixed income for as long as 
possible- And they can always 


ing 19.05 percent 
However, such high yields 
are a danger signal Vic Van- 
Boofen, fixed interest specialist 
at NafWest Stockbrokers, said: 
"Higher than average yields 
mean that the marifPt feds 
there is more risk of a com¬ 
pany being unable to keep up 
the dividend payments in 
future. Even if a company 
doesn't go bust it can.still pass 
a dividend on a pre fer ence 
share if it gets into difficulties. 
A cumulative preference share 
gives you more - security 
because the missed payment 
will be carried forward and the 
company will mala? up the 
payment when it is enjoying 
better times again”. 

Convertible preference 
shares are also available. They 
give holders the option to 
switch into ordinary shares at 
a fixed price at some time in 
the future. So the price of the 
shares will be influenced by 
the market's view on the 
prospects for the company. 
British Aerospace 7.75 per 
cent Convertible Preference 
shares, which are trading at a 
discount, are currently yield¬ 
ing 12 per cent gross. The fact 
the company deferred the last 
dividend on its ordinary 
shares, appears to have made 
the market sceptical 
While there are some attrac¬ 
tive fixed incomes to be ob¬ 
tained from all these types of 
fixed income shares, there is 
also considerable risk. If a 
company foils, investors could 
lose their capital and income. 
Private investors should take 
advice from a stockbroker.

This table may come as a shock for building society account holders. But these 
are the facts of life for savers. 

Rising prices, the rising cost ofKving, inflation that won't go away, mean that 
you really have to invest to save seriously over the longer term. 

Fortunately, to help protect your future, you can place some of your savings in 
Foreign & Colonial’s range of investment trusts through our Private Investor Plan. 

The troth is that while we all start as savers of modest means, by leaving most 
of your money in a building society, you’ll remain a saver of modest means. 

Shouldn't you seriously be considering investing with the world’s oldest 
investment trust manager?

Jj ■ THfc INVESTMENT HUI'SE I 


From M m Hilary Cowell 
Sir. 1 read with interest your 
artide on personal equity 
plans coming of age as an 
investment vehicle (Weekend 
Money. January 2). 

The comments attributed to 
Mr Ken Emery, director of 
unit trusts and Peps for Save & 
Prosper have caused me to 
write to a newspaper for the 
first time, ie. “a tax-free gain of 
£12,325” on the original in¬ 
vestment requires some fur¬ 
ther comment and expla¬ 
nation. 

Has anyone actually re¬ 
ceived this gain with Save & 
Prosper? I doubt itveiy much. 
The charges will have reduced 
their original invstment to 
such an extent that gains on 
this scale will be few and far. 

To date, i have invested 
E3,504.91 in a Save & Prosper 
Pep. Its current worth is 
£2,994.54 — not vay encour¬ 
aging. I contacted the S&P 
helpline on several occasions 


to query the poor perfor¬ 
mance. I received commisera¬ 
tions and agreement, but no 
advice, explanation or help, I 
have now transferred to a 
Schroder Pep, which 1 hope 
will perform rather better. 

But I do object to Pep 
managers claiming excessive 
gains when the evidence for 
most Pep holders is quite the 
reverse. 

The exorbitant manage¬ 
ment charges made by the 
companies were not anticipat¬ 
ed when the government 
introduced the schemes, but 
have certainly misled small 
investors. 

There is little point in trying 
to avoid tax when we cannot 
even achieve a gun. 

I look forward to your and 
Mr Emery’s comments. 

Yours sincerely.

From Dr Richard Jones 
Sir. I read with interest Sara 
McConnell's artide “PEPS 
Come of Age..(January 2). 
which seemed to imply that 
Peps offer a sound investment 
The example Ms McConnell 
takes would not have been a 
particularly good investment, 
actually. She cites a Pep in 
which £31,200 was invested 
over six years (presumably 
January '87 to January ’93) 


producing growth of £12,235 
(40 percent) to give £43,960 at 
the end of the six-year period. 

During that time, the FT- 
100 increased by 70 per cent 
(horn 1,681 to 2.847) and a 
reasonable portfolio should 
have grown accordingly. In 
addition, some E6.500 would 
have been earned, after in¬ 
come tax, in dividends. In this 
way, an original investment of 
£31.200 would have become. 


after dealing expenses, almost 
£60,000. To be fair to Ms 
McConnefl, the money would 
have to have been invested in a 
Pep in six annual tranches oL 
say, £5,200. Using this as a 
model and calculating the 
growth in accordance with the 
FT-100 (4 per cent, 4 per cent,

per cent and 15 per cent for

however, the consistency of performance that has 
become our trademark brought outstanding investment 
results across our entire range of Funds. 

But don’t just take our word for iL The industry 
avrards presented to us over the last decade are 
testament to the quality and success of our investment 
management - and 1992 was no exception. .

dividend (average for toe FT- 
100 assumed) at the end of 
each year. . toe investment 
' would have grown to £50.057 
by January 1,1993. 

If a fond manager cannot 
equal the performance of the 
FT-100 consistently, he would 
be considered to have per¬ 
formed very poorly. If Ms 
McConnell chose, as. tar ex¬ 
ample, one of the baler Peps, 

, the poorer ones should cer¬ 
tainly be given a wide berth. 

Sid would have done much 
better than the FT-100. If he 
had invested £5,200 in. say, 
British Gas. British Airways, 
BAA. British SteeL North 
West- Water and Midland 
Electricity, on toe same annu¬ 
al dates respectively, his port¬ 
folio would now be worth well 
over £60,000 — again, divi¬ 
dends after tax have been 
capitalised. These companies 
were chosen because they bad 
been recently privatised on the 
relevant dates. 

There has been much com¬ 
ment in your pages'alleging 
that management fees for 
Peps soak up any tax benefits, 
and the examples I have given 
certainly support the view that 
investing in the stock market 
via Peps is not a particularly 
beneficial way of doing iL 
Yours faithfully, , .

Visa vouchers 
open to change 

From MrsLucyR. Baruch 
Sir, Recentywetookapartyof 
eight for a meal in a restaurant 
and on paying by Visa at the 
end were given a Visavoucher 
to'sign. which tad nottndud- 
ed .toe quoted 10 per cent 
service charge. All copies of toe 
voucher were returned when 
the amended vouchers were 
produced for signature So far, 
so'good. 

On returning home, we 
were telephoned by the restau- 
ranL.fufl of apologies, because 
we had had a new . and 
inexperienced waiter who had 
charged for six and not eight 
meals. The correct figure was 
quoted an toe telephone and 
we were- informed that toe 
voucher would be amended 
and we would be charged the 
“correct” sum. The monthly 
statement has now been re¬ 
ceived. and the “correct” sum 
has indeed been charged. 

We acquiesced in what ap¬ 
peared to be a dodgy, not to 
say illegal, alteration of the 
Visa figure, because we still 
had the viators, and, in any 
case did not really believe that 
Visa would accept toe altered 
voucher. . 

Now that we have proof that 
Visa (and probably other cred¬ 
it card issuers, too) will accept 
amended vouchers we are very 
concerned that ft can happen. 
We do chedt the statem ents 
against the vouchers, tat there 
must be other people who are 
not so obsessional or conscien¬ 
tious. I had always assumed 
that .toe credit cam. statement 
would, without fail, be a 
reflection for toe vouchers. 
Now l feel very concerned that 
the system, is for from 
foolproof. 

. Has this happened to any¬ 
one else? 

Yours sincerely, 

LUCY R. BARUCH, 

2 Queen’s Walk.

Atkinson’s all-sorts tearing 
down barriers in title race 


Irfifw* 


By Dennis Shaw 

THE German dribbled round 
the Pole and passed to the 
Irishman, who sent the West 
Indian away to exchange 
passes with die Wels hman 
before firing past the Austra¬ 
lian. Cosmopolitan United, 
otherwise known as Alston 
ViDa. were training.. 

This is the multi-racial 
squad awaiting.the Dane. 
Henrik Larsen, who will be 
increasing Villa’s League of 
Nations contingent to eight 
countries—England included 
— if a deal with Pisa is agreed 
next week. 

The Italian dob is seeking. 
in the region of £100,000 
from Villa to loan the 
goalscoring midfield member - 
of the European champion¬ 
ship winners until the end of 
the season. VIBa are still 
negotiating on the basis of a 
permanent transfer if the 
move works out 
. Ron Atkinson, -whose trans¬ 
fer turnover at VUla Park is 
sbotn £20 million, is ia manag¬ 
er who recognises no interna¬ 
tional boundaries in his long- 
tom plan to his dub 
among the foremost in 
Europe. His squad probably 
already contains a wider mix' 
of nationalities than any 
squad previously put together 



With seven nations already represented in Ron Atkinson's 
championship-chasing football squad and jet another 
import imminent Aston Villa are leading the field in 
bringing an international flavour to the Premier League

Saunders: Welsh 


in this country, and they have 
all figured in the team chal¬ 
lenging for. the Premier 
League title at some stage this 
season. 

With the freer passage of 
players now allowed in the 
European Community, such 
mixed-nationality squads wfll 
become increasingly com¬ 
monplace, with one i mporta nt 
proviso: the man at tire helm 
must have a fluent grasp of the 
international language. 

The language in question is 
not so much English but the 
universal parlance of football, 
a tongue at which- Atkinson is 
an expert He sees no difficulty 
in communicating with any of 
his individuals, since he re¬ 
gards them only as footballers 
witha common tongue. 

- “This morning our eight-a¬ 
side practice : was England 
versus the AH-Sorts, and the 
AD-Sorts won 4-1." he said 
with relish. "Sometimes rfs 
the Blade Kids versus the 
White Kids. I have no prob¬ 
lem with race or colour." 

This was a team in training

ASTON VILLA'S cosmopoli¬ 
tan collection comprises Paul 
McGrath, Steve Staunton and 
Ray Houghton (all Republic 
of Ireland). Dean Saunders 
(Wales). Mark Bosnich (Aus¬ 
tralia), Dwight Yorke (Trini¬ 
dad and Tobago), Dariusz 
Kubidd (Poland). Matthias 
Breitkreutz and Stefan 
Beinlich (both Germany). 

Yorke and McGrath were 
signed by Graham Taylor 
when he was manager at Villa 
Park. Ron Atkinson has since 
signed the others.

which will go top of the 
Premier League if it beats 
Middlesbrough at Villa Park 
tomorrow, although Man¬ 
chester United could replace 
them 24 hours later. "Four of 
our non-British players — that 
is the Germans, Dwight Yorke 
and Mark Bosnich — are 21 
or under and they have real 
ability." Atkinson said. “I 



Staunton: Irish 


don’t care who they are, .where 
they're from, what shape they 
are or what language they 
speak, as long as they can 
play." 

Atkinson, who once wres¬ 
tled with T i*iTn temperaments 
at Afl&ico Madrid, is especial¬ 
ly excited ai the progress of his 
two German players. Stefan 
Beinlich. who could replace 
the injured Dalian Atkinson 
alongside Dean Saunders 
against Middlesbrough, and 
Matthias Breitkreutz, were 
signed from Borussia Borsig 
in the former East Germany 
just over a year ago. “When 
they came they spoke' no 
English and had lived in 
poorish one-room flats with¬ 
out much of a lifestyle,” Atkin¬ 
son said. “Now they have 
detached homes and motor 
cars and they fully appreciate 
what is happening to them. 

“Beinlich. a front man. has 
simply come on in leaps and 
bounds while Breitkreutz has 
as much natural ability as 
anyone in the dub. The 
Gomans, like the Scandina¬ 
vians. have a great attitude. 
They’re very dedicated and 
professional. I prefer them, as 
match-in-match-out players, 
to the Latins, whose tempera¬ 
ment you can never be sure 
at" 

Atkinson is aware that a 
problem could arise should 
Villa win a place in European 
competition, when chibs are 
limited to fielding three non- 
nationals. “We'll cross that 
bridge if and when we come to 
it.” he said. One feature of the 
international flavour of his 
squad which amuses him 
greatly is that the English 
faction includes Ugochuku 
Ehiogu. "They found him on 
Hackney Marshes," he points 
out Where else?

Tottenham v Sheff Wed 

Chris Wsddte returns to White 
Hart Lana wearing a Wednesday 
shirt. Tottenham field the side 
that lost 4-1 at Manchester United 
last week, but their supporters’ 
fantasies must surely revolve around 
a side containing three old boys 
—Waddle, Gascoigne and Lineker. 

The problems of today's 
Tottenham are hlghfighted by the 
fact that their leading scorer, 
Sheringham, has only five league 
goals to tss name. Anderton, 
supposedly the E2 rrtiSon 
replacement for Waddle, is on 
the bench. Wilson is doubtW tor 
Wednesday so Bart-Wnfiams 
could to deputise. Trevor Francis, 
the Wednesday manager, says 
that Bright, with 12 goals shea 
September, should partner ten 
Wnght for England.

A re-enactment of the 198o FA 
Cup final, won by Wimbledon. Just 
what Liverpool could do without 
in the a fte ma tih of Wednesday's FA 
Cup exit at home to Bolton. 

Scales, the Wimbledon central 
defender, is mnoured to be a 
Liverpool transfer target but they wfil 
. hope he has an off tray today. 
Graeme Souiess, the visiting 
manager, needs a win — even 
though Kevin Keegan yesterday 
insisted he is staying put at 
Newcastle. Wright and Rush return 
for Liverpool while Wimbledon 
hope to welcome HoJdsworth and 
Baton back. 

Tomorrow 

A Wla v Middlesbrough 

Dalian Atkinson coidd be fit to 
lead Vida's attack but time is likely to 
be against him, and Yorke Is 
ready to understudy. Mddteberough 
w9 certainly hope so. Lenrtie 
Lawrence, their manager, has said 
they are two defeats removed 
from a relegation fight and he is 
without the injured Fleming. 

Whyte is fit to return to central 
defence and l-fignett should 
return to the miofidd.

GLYN Greaser, the Wycombe 
Wanderers captain, has been 
ruled out for the rest of the 
season with a broken beeL an 
injury sustained when he was 
flung six feet into the air after 
being hit hy a forklift truck at 
his job at a warehouse in 
Milton Keynes (Walter 
Gammie writes). 

“I have got to be realistic 
and get myself fit for next 
season. Obviously I am devas¬ 
tated.” Creaser, 33. said. 

Martin O'Neill, the Wyc¬ 
ombe manager, said: “I fed 
desperately senry for him. The 
last year or two he has had the 
time of his life: If s the best 
he's played and Ik’s an inspi¬ 
ration to the dub.” 

Wycombe continue their 
hunt for the GM Vauxhall

home match against 
Northwich Victoria, the form 
team of the competition.

Their Kent rivals, Graves¬

England’s XI topple Bedi's XVI 

Hick grasps chance 
to run into form 
for olie-day series 


ON THE 1984-5 lour of 
India, Chris Cowdrey was 
nicknamed Prince because he 
was allowed to bat in the nets 
without having to take his turn 
bowling. Kapil Dev took die 
regal approach one stage fur- 
te here yesterday by turning 
up only to bat for Bishea 
Bedi's XI against England. 

Bedi’s XI was something of 
a misnomer, as the team 
employed 16 players in all but 
the match nevertheless provid¬ 
ed a useful workout for Eng¬ 
land. Tufndl and Salisbury 
bonded weD and Hick, at last, 
playing a big innings, hitting 
93 as England won a 50-over 
contest by two wickets, with 
two balls to spare. 

That is not much to get 
excited about, but after 
Wednesday's dire perfor¬ 
mance anything was welcome, 
as Keith Fletcher, the England 
manager, conceded. “I am 
happier than I was.” he said. 
“It was a better performance 
than the last one, but we’ve 
still got a long way to go. We're 
still not playing as well as I’d 
like." 

The biggest plus to come out 
of the day was the success of 
Hick, who entertained a 
sparse but enthusiastic crowd 
with some fine strokes once he 
got going. He took to the 


FtooM Peter Ball in Delhi 

second left-arm spinner, 
Bharti Vrj, with relish, hitting 
him for three straight sixes. 
One went straight into the 
bottom of the press stand to 
bring Dermot Reeve’s mother, 
a solitary figure high on the 
terraces at square leg. excitedly 
to her feet 

Maninder was treated with 
rather more respect, as his 
figures of one of 26 in ten 
overs show. His last two overs 
produced some panic as Eng¬ 
land lost a flurry (rf wickets. 
They are not sony to see his 
name mi ssing from India's 
squad for foe one-day interna¬ 
tional at Jaipur on Monday. 

England stfU ham some 
question marks against them. 
“At this time places are wide 
open,” John Emburey said on 
Thursday. “Graham [Gooch] 
has a set pattern and likes to 
keep to it, but the way things 
are going at the moment he 
might have to change.” 

The composition of yester¬ 
day’s team suggested that at 
present, the England captain 
intends to stick to his plans, at 
least until after the Jaipur 
match. The problem is that 
not maqy people are making a 
convincing case for him to 
change his mind. 

Of the expected team. Robin 
Smith, in the unusual role as 


opener, atleast took the oppor¬ 
tunity to get half an innings 
behind him but he then got 
out for 30. Fairbrotfaer, also in 
search of runs, again did the 
hard part, and then was run 
out for 16 when he was 
beginning to settle. But for 
the moment England will 
have to stick by him. There are 
no apparent alternatives. 

The derision not to give 
Atherton a game means that 
the Lancashire opener has 
been discounted as a one-day 
player. Fletcher’s comments 
afterwards suggested that 
Blakey. who did play yester¬ 
day, is only being regarded as 
wicketkeeping cover, in spite 
of his century in a dub match 
last weekend. In ary case, he 
did not stake an irresistible 
daim when tilings fell apart in 
the dosing overs. 

If there is to be a change 
from the expected side, it may 
come in the bowling. Al¬ 
though Paul Taylor claimed 
an earjy wicket, he did not do 
enough to suggest that he 
would replace DeFreitas or 
Lewis, but both Tufnell and 
Salisbury bowled well enough 
to mount a serious challenge 
toEmburey.

Downhill 
men get 
final call 

By David Powell 

BRITAIN will send three 
men’s downhillers to the Al¬ 
pine worid championships in 
Japan next month undeterred 
by their form in the World 
Dip this winter. The Bell 
brothers, Martin and Gra¬ 
ham. and Ronald Duncan 
were named yesterday in a 
team of five who will compete 
at the championships in Mori- 
oka from February 3 to 14. 

All three are ranked below 
sixtieth in the World Cup 
starting list Duncan said in 
December that he would retire 
at tiie. end of foe season if his 
results did not improve, which 
they have not and Martin Bell 
assessed his performance in 
the second of two downhills at 
Garmisch-Partenkirchen last 
weekend by saying: “My time 
is not quite as embarrassing as 
yesterday's." 

Although each team mem¬ 
ber is bong asked by foe 
British Ski Federation (BSF) 
to contribute £500 towards the 
cost of competing in Morioka, 
the n ational governing body is 
having to find £1.500 per 
skier. Its Alpine budget fell 
from £280,000 last season to 
£190,000 this season, mainly 
because of lost sponsorship. 

Sarah Lewis, the BSF Al¬ 
pine director, said that the 
three men had met the mini¬ 
mum selection criteria. Dun¬ 
can with his World Cup results 
last season and foe Bells in 
Continental Cup and FIS 
races this season. 

The highest place achieved 
by any of them in the World 
Cup this season was fiftieth by 
Graham BeJL Duncan has 
the worst average. Lewis said: 
“Ronald is bade to his best 
gliding. His selection is specif¬ 
ic for the course in Morioka, 
which is a glider’s course.”

Winners’gallery: Upson, surrounded by photographic reminders of his best racing moments, plots further success in his Adstone study 

Upson the survivor walks financial tightrope 



ohn Upson bit on his 
cigar, watched from his 
as second lot head¬ 
ed out on to the wir 
Northamptonshire lane i 
mg to his gallops, and spat 
out the word. “Banks,” he 
hissed. 

“They spend the whole of 
their lives idling you howto 
run your business and yet 
how many billions have they 
lost in the third world and in 
property ventures? If they 
were ordinary businesses, ev¬ 
ery one of them would be 
bankrupt by now." 

Upson speaks with under¬ 
standable feeling about the 
country’s unloved High Street 
financiers, following the col¬ 
lapse of Erostin two years ago. 

After building up foe prop¬ 
erty and construction com¬ 
pany from nothing to a stock 
marta-ouoted concern with a 
£50 million annual turnover, 
Upson saw it perish at the 
hands of the recession and 
squabbling bankas. 

“liquidation was so sense¬ 
less. It could so easily have 
been saved, but 1 had too 
many banks who could not 
agree with each other. That 
was the basic problem." 

The subsequent difficulty 
was the threat posed by Eras- 
tin's demise to a racing ven¬ 
ture which began innocently 


Richard Evans meets trainer John Upson, who is attempting to mix 
racing with business to keep the recession and his bankers at bay 


with a horse bought as a 
business public relations exer¬ 
cise; and developed intoafufl- 
Wovm training establishment 
with around 40 jumpers, 
based sax mites from Tow- 
aster. 

Although Upson had 
bought the yard and horses at 
Adstone from Erostm for 
£300,000in 1987 prim- to the 
company's stock marker flota¬ 
tion. foe crash of his business 
posed a threat which still 
hovers in the background. 

“There was no way I could 
continue to fund this because 
I didn’t have the income, so 1 
immediately had tony to turn 
it into commercial stables. 1 
don’t say it is on a knife-edge, 
but every single month you 
ger through is another month 
gone. 

“One of the things whkh 1 
find hantest to accept is that 1 
am still perceived as a wealthy 
owner-trainer who plays at it. 
The reality is that if I don’t 
mate this pay I win be out of 
business like anyone else.” 

This season he has real 
hopes of breaking even, with 
revenue coming from train¬ 
ing fees (onjy ten of the 33 


horses are now owned by him 
or his wife), selling Wood- 
stock. and prize-money. 

Very Very Ordinary's suc¬ 
cess at Asox yesterday and foe 
victory of Zeta’s Lad in the 
Tfrvestes Chase at Gowran 
Park on Thursday confirmed 
the well-being of his string. 
The Green Stuff and Over- 
ha eove nh e re have also con¬ 
tributed to 17 domestic 
successes from 102 runners, 
which show an overall betting 
profit of nearly £50 to a El 
stake. 

Bom in 1944. Upson was a 
“working class kid from 
Southend” with ten brothers 
and sisters. His parents were 
life-long members of foe Lab¬ 
our party and by the age of 
14. Upson was a member of 
the Young Socialists. Al¬ 
though not actively involved 
in politics today, d remains 
his second passion. 

After leaving school at 15. 
he joined his Esther, who was 
a snail building sub-contrac¬ 
tor. before brandling out on 
his own. He gradually 
worked his nay up. gained 
qualifications at college dur¬ 
ing the evenings, and by the 


late 1970s was a director of 
Greenwood Homes, chaired 
by David (now Lord) Young. 

Greenwood Homes en¬ 
joyed considerable public re¬ 
lations and racecourse success 
with Greenwood Star and 
Upson tried a similar racing 
ptoy after sening up Erastin. 

His fins hone. Erostm Star, 
flopped but winners soon 
flowed from Stan Meter's 
yard. It was Meter who 
suggested Upson should have 
paddocks where the horses 
could go in the summer. 

A fter viewing more than 
100 potential sties. 
Upson bought High- 
fields. complete with 450 
acres, and Tom Costtte. the 
Irish trainer, subequendy sug¬ 
gested it would be a good 
place from wfoich to train. 

Terry Casey, Costello’s son, 
John, and Brian Rothwefl 
were, in turn, responsible for 
daytoday training. Upson 
became a permit holder in 
1989 before taking out a full 
training licence in 1991. 

“My philosophy about 
naming horses is that it is a 
team effort The idea that a 


brilliant trainer is arfriy ns 
sponsible for winners m»

run this place exactfv the same 
as a business. I build a team

After supervising the hon¬ 
es’ work and enrras, Upon 
travels to Mtem Keynes from 
where he runs Firefctgh, a 
successor » Erostin. before 
going racing or returning for 
evening stables. 

What began as a bobby has 
become a Job - but mere are 
no regrets. "I would pay to do 
it,” Upson says. 

He now possesses a confi¬ 
dence. having competed 
against the bes at the top 
level "Wftar you have got so 
have is the best honei that is 
95 per cent of ft. If 1 have a

Spartan Sprite poised 
to make flying start 

POENT-TO-POINT BY BRIAN BEEL 


THE first winner of foe new 
season could be Spartan 
Sprite ft connections allow her 
to contest the members* race at 
the Waveney Harriers meet¬ 
ing at Higham today. 

Spartan Sprite was success¬ 
ful at foe Folkestone United 
Hunter Chase meeting last 
May when she justified 
favouritism by beating As You 
Were by six lengths. 

This nine-year-old mare 
could meet Up The Cherries, 
who returns to pomt-to-point- 
ing after a disappointing spell 
under Rules with foe 
Wendover trainer John White. 

Spartan Sprite has an alter¬ 
native engagement in the 
open, which would be far 
more difficult with foe likes of 
Seven Of Diamonds and the 
Welsh stable companions, 
Brunico and Radio Cue, in the 
possible line-up. 

Even though reaching 13 
years of age. Deer Crest could 


still show the way home in the 
confined race to his younger 
rivals, of whkh the best may 
be Richard Hunt 

Mountain Crash ended a 
busy season in 1992 with a 
sequence of five wins. This 
could be further extended in 
the ladies’ open under the 
champion novice rider, Gi 
Chown. 

Mend will not have the top- 
of-the-ground conditions that 
he favours, but could stil come 
out best in the intermediate. 

The winner of the first race 
in the Russell, Baldwin and 
Bright Maiden series—which 
has two Irish qualifiers, not 
one. as I wrote m my review 
yesterday—vdn not be easy to 
find. Of those making their

.. -. The Dream 


An English coach who can look down on the rest 



Walking tall- Sett's Tigers have plenty to celebrate 


MICK Bett has never known 
anything like it There have 
been phone calls galore, tele¬ 
vision people, photographers 
and reporters, all of them 
wanting to speak to, or focus 
on, basketball’s man of the 
moment and his team of the 
moment, foe Thames Valley 
Tigers. 

“Basketball needs all foe 
publicity it can get” he said, 
“but to be bombarded like 
this does, I think, take the 
players’ minds off the job in 
hand.” There is a sarcastic 
remark from his wife. Mi¬ 
chelle, as she answers & 
phone cafl. “It’s for me. I 
can’t believe it,” she 
exdaimed. 

Bett, a shy 6ft 6in figure, 
finds the whole thing slightly 
embarrassing- “AH I’ve done 
is takea team to the top of the 
league and win the World 


By Nicholas Harung 

Invitation Chib Champion¬ 
ship, whkh without befittfing 
theWICB, is nothing really.” 
he said. 

Bett, who teaches mathe¬ 
matics at Taos, a school for 
American students, is that 
rare commodity, a successful 
English coach in a game 
dominated by Americans, two 
of whom will be among the 
opposition when Tigers play 
GtiLdfoni Kings tomorrow in 
tiie final of the NarWest 
Trophy. 

The rival coach at Binning- 
ham’s national indoor arena 
win be KevitLCadfe,fi>r whom 
Bett played in a four-month 
spell at Kingston two years 
ago. “Kevin has won things, 
year in year out, because he 
has foe ability to attract the 
best players,” Bett said. He 
bears Dufle no resentment, 
for not alloning him more 


court time before he left for 
Hemd Hempstead. From 
there he soon moved across 
Hertfordshire, to Ware, as 
player-coach, where he md ed 
a career that brought him 43 
England caps. 

. One of Guildford’s five 
Carisbeig League defeats this 
season was at the bands of 
the Tigers but Bett feels that 
Cadfe’s squad is now stronger 
for the return of Lorenzo 
Duncan, whose confronta¬ 
tion with the most prolific 
Tiger, Nigel Lloyd, from Bar¬ 
bados, could decide foe 
outcome. 

Whatever the result Belt’s 
hanHoplease employers can 
hardly conqrfahL He is the 
seventh coach in four seasons 
at the Bracknell dub and 
made three applications be¬ 
fore he was finally offered foe 
Job.

Sabin Du Loir retires on a high 


fci* 


By Richard Evans 

- RACING CORRESPONDENT. 

SABIN Du Loir, who beat 
Desert Orchid four times dur-' 
mg a distinguished career, has 
been retired ■ following his 
thrilling success is. the John 
Bull Chase at Wincanton on 
Thursday. ■■ 

“IfS a great way to go out;" 
Martin Pipe, trainer of The 14- 
year-old, said yesterday. “He’s 
100 per cent and could run 
tomorrow. Brian Kilpatrick, 
his owner, was thinking of this 
yesterday and detided to stop 
on a winning note." 

Victorious in 21 of his 41 
races, Sabin Du Loir won die 
Sun Alliance Hurdle asa four- 
year-old for Michael Dkkro* 
son, beating Dawn Run and 
West Tip, respective future 
Gold Cup and Grand Nat¬ 
ional winners: 

He subsequently develop®! 
leg trouble and hardly saw a 
racecourse for three years but. 
as so often happens when a 
horse issernt to Pipe, he found 
a new lease of life. . . 

“He -was one of my 
favourites and won 15 times 
for me. He was what an ideal 



Pipe: fond, farewell 
to fine servant 

racehorse should be, a perfect 
gentleman," foe champion 
trainer said. 

Pipe, refreshed after a sun¬ 
shine break in Tenerife, was 
speaking at Ascot where Sweet 
Glow repealed last year’s suc¬ 
cess in the - Rosling King 
Handicap Hurdle. 

Under a fine ride from 
David Richmond, foe diminu¬ 


tive sncyear-rild came with a 
late ran to catch Data Doone 
and withstand foe late chall¬ 
enge of Mary Revdey's raider, 
Grace Card. 

Haring scared off much of 
the potential opposition for foe 
PML Lightning Novices* 
Chase. Wonder Man. was a 
late withdrawal after punctur¬ 
ing foe sole of afoot 
, David Nicholson's exciting 
novice would have had to be at 
his best to deal with Valiant 
Boy, whose fluency over fences 
and late acceleration more 
than made up for a 93-day 
absence from the racecourse. 

Steve KetdeweH, who was 
enjoying his biggest training 
success, explained: “I did. not 
have him straight enough for 
his last ran and he tightened, 
up as a result and set tot three 
or four times over the follow¬ 
ing week. He has had human 
treatment for muscular dystro¬ 
phy tohdp ease his muscles." 

More conventional reme¬ 
dies produced a return to form 
for Be My Habitat, who 
instigated a memorable York¬ 
shire double when winning 
foe Silver Doctor Novices’ 
Hurdle. 


However, the success 
prompted an enquiry by .the 
Ascot stewards into the ex¬ 
traordinary turnaround .in 
form produced by Lyim 
SiddalTs hurdler. 

In his previous race at 
Kempton, Be My Habitat had 
finished more than 60 lengths 
behind Sayh, while yesterday 
he finished a dozen lengths in 
front of the 2-1 on favourite. 

SiddaH had a simple expla¬ 
nation. “I think the jockey 
[Declan Murphy] gave him a 
bad ride last time. He was told 
to sit second and keep foe 
horse well up towards foe front 
but be didn’t.” 

Peter Scudamore, who rode 
foe winner to his previous 
Ascot success, told foe stew¬ 
ards the horse ran best when 
allowed to dominate from the 
front — an explanation which 
was accepted at foe enquiry. 

John Upson is still in Ire¬ 
land (hardly surprising given 
foe success of Zeta’s Lad in the 
Thyestes Chase on Thursday) 
and so missed seeing Robbie 
Supple ride Very Very Ordi¬ 
nary to perfection when cap¬ 
turing the First National 
Handicap Chase.

Blitzkreig in 
repeat bid 

J P MCMANUS and bis 
trainer Eddie O'Grady are 
looking for a big run from 
their bold-jumping grey 
Blitzkreig at Ascot today as he 
attempts to repeat his 1991 
success in the Victor Chandler 
Handicap Chase (Our Irish 
Racing Correspondent 
writes). 

He was frying to give away 
almost two stone when sec¬ 
ond to the smart novice 
Saraemma at the Leop- 
ardstown Christmas meeting. 

The same owner and train¬ 
er are bringing Mark Dwyer 
over to Navan tomorrow to 
ride Time For A Run and this 
superior double bumper win¬ 
ner can stake a claim to 
Cheltenham consideration. 

At Leopardstown last time 
out, Morceli was heavily 
backed against Big Matt — 
among foe bets was a single 
wager of IiiSO.OOO — but the 
gamble came unstuck when 
he fell just before halfway. He 
can however live up to Mick 
OToole’s high opinion in the 
Navan Hurdle. 

Bucks-Choice, trained by 
Paddy Mullins, improved his 
jumping considerably to up¬ 
set foe odds-on Bayrouge at 
Naas and has an easy task in 
foe BlackhtDs Hurdle at 
Punchestown today. 



The seven-year-old is im¬ 
proving by leaps and bounds 
and given his style of running 
— finishing fast from off the 
pace similar to Cool Ground 
at his best — he looks one to 
follow for the rest of the 
season. 

Andrew Cohen, who has ten 
horses with Upson, joked: 
“His name is not quite right, is 
it? He has learnt to switch off 
now and gets three miles welL 
He will go for the Great 
Yorkshire Handicap Chase at 
Doncaster where he is very 
well in at the weights." 

The victory of Very Very 
Ordinary and Sabin Du Loir 
on Thursday pay a compli¬ 
ment to Another Coral who 
beat foe pair comfortably at 
Newbury two weeks ago. 
Nicholson’s improving chaser 
remains a live Cheltenham 
Gold Cup outsider. 

The EBF National Hunt 
Norices’ Hurdle at Ascot often 
throws up a decent winner 
and Stormhead should follow 
foe trend after making all foe 
running. 

Oliver Sherwood’s young¬ 
ster loves soft going and will 
improve over further. 


Smart Sybillin on tempting 
mark to take Ascot feature 


SYBILLIN, with only lOst 
101b to carry, can win foe 
grade two Victor Chandler 
Handicap Chase at Ascot to¬ 
day with Mark Dwyer in foe 
saddle. 

While Jimmy Fitzgerald ac¬ 
knowledges that he is throw¬ 
ing this talented novice in at 
the deep end after only three 
races over fences, he knows 
what it takes to win this 
particular race having done so 
in 1990 with Meikleour, who 
also carried lOstlOIb. 

Describing him as the best 
two-mile chasing prospect that 
he has ever handled from the 
hurdling ranks, the Malton 
trainer feels that he cannot let 
this opportunity slip by. 

At Newcastle last month. 
SybiHin coped admirably with 
heavy conditions underfoot 
when he beat Dawson City, 
foe winner of his three previ¬ 
ous races, by four lengths at 
level weights. 

Previously Sybillin had won 
over today's course and 
distance. 

' In addition to SybiSin, Fitz¬ 
gerald is also represented by 


Michael Phillips 


Boutzdaroff for whom foe 
going could well prove too 
testing. 

The same qualification ap¬ 
plies to the top weight. Young 
Snugfit. who has not raced 
this season along with Star's 
Delight, one of two runners 
from Martin Pipe's stable. 

Cyphiate is their main 
hope, haring given weight 
and a beating to Last 'O’ The 
Bunch over today's course and 
distance four weeks ago. 

Edward O’Grad/s decision 
to send Blitzkreig over from 
Ireland must be respected on 
account of his own judgement 
and his horse's ability to win 
foe race two seasons ago. 

For Deep Sensation this 
represents a return to the 
minimum distance haring 
won overtwo-and-a-half miles 
on today's track in November, 
before foiling to get three 
miles at Kempton. 


On past form Deep Sensa¬ 
tion should not manage to 
give 101b to Freeline Finish¬ 
ing, his conqueror at 
Chepstow in November. 

If SybOlin measures up to 
my expectations, Dwyer can 
oomplete a double by taking 
foe Teal And Green Handi¬ 
cap Hurdle on Beachy Head. 

Even Valfinet. unbeaten this 
season, who has gone up Sib 
as a result of last Saturday's 
victory at Haydock. should 
find Beachy Head trouble¬ 
some at a difference of 1 Sib. 

Beachy Head was trying to 
give 231b to Thursday’s 
Wetberby winner Nijmegen 
when he was beaten two 
lengths on his seasonal debut 
at Unoxeter. 

However. The IlJywhackcr 
looks the days best bet in the 
Grosvenor Insurance Chase if 
he can reproduce in a handi¬ 
cap what he achieved in the 
King George VI Chase at 
Kempton when he finished 
third behind The Fellow and 
Pat’s Jester. He may well have 
finished second but for mis¬ 
judging the last fence.

THE TIMES SATURDAV^RVlilTO 


Rugby’s captain marvel 
a smooth operator 
with the sharp finish 


T oo smooth by three-quar¬ 
ters. Thars Will Catling. 
How does he manage it? 
The bee is just sHghtiy mo nigged 
to be obnoxiously handsome; the 
voice just slightly too demotic to be 
obnoxiously public school; the 
charm just slightly too genuine to 
be obnoxiously synthetic: The final 

effect — a tough, sympathetic 
fellow — is achieved by a hair, but 
it is achieved all right 
The England rugby captain gets 
surreptitiously pointed out (as the 
sort of person likely to appeal to 
tough career ladies) when having a 
drink in the Gioucho Club, of an 
places. And there be was on 
television the other day, staying up 
till gone midnight to chat effort¬ 
lessly to Des. As usual “We're not 
even thinking about a third grand 
slam," he lied. “AD. the players are 
thinking about is the game against 
the French on Saturday." 

He does these things awfully 
well: easy, arti culate and bland. 
He presents this tough and intelli¬ 
gent persona, but with reasonable 
lightness of touch. There is just the 
right amount of boyishness about 
him. He never even threatens to 
come over as the ignorant mono¬ 
maniac of sporting cliche 
The smoothie subaltern — he 
was in the army until he bought 
himself out for £8,000 five years 
ago — has become the smoothie 
media darling: Captain Marvel, 
Captain Sensible. OQ magazine 
even called him Captain 
Beefheaxt But Carting carries on 
talking earh gaim* as it oomes, 
always presentabiy smart-casual, 
(and not just in style of dress), 
allowing just the right amount of 
designer stubble to decorate die 
now-famous cloven chin. 

Bur tme cannot criticise Carling 
for being good at public relations. 
Agreeable, easy-natured, non- 
prickly athletes should be cher¬ 
ished. Occasionally, true, one 
yearns for a little more meat in 
Carting’s public pronouncements, 
but in all public relations, victory 
matters more than style. Carting 
astutely kicks for touch rather than 
run with a dangerous question. 
Who can blame him ? 

He knows what public relations 
are about "The bourgeois prefers 
comfort to pleasure, convenience 
to liberty and a pleasant tempera¬ 
ture to die deathly inner-consum¬ 
ing fixe." This line is from 


Hermann Hesse; it might be used 
as an epigraph to any athlete’s 
guide to media relations. Don’t 
Haunt the inner fire. People don’t 
like it. 

But the inner-consuming fire is 
part of all high-class competitors, 
in any sport from snooker to 
American football Some make 
great parade of this, others do not 
David Gower, a deeply self-con¬ 
scious man, has hidden his inner 
fire so successfully that people 
don't believe he possesses it 

Carting has the fire, too, but 
seldom shows it. He has a little of 
Gower’s self-consciousness, even if 
he is not so acute a case. But the 
Carting fire is easy to see on the 
pitch. He completed last year’s 
Inte rnational season with a fine 
centre’s try for England: up Eke a 
rocket and down Eke a stick. A 


There are a few people 
in rugby who will gloat 
over an English defeat, 
especially if it involves 
the fail of Coding 
...he attracts the 
green-eyed monster 


perfectionist mi g ht have felt that 
he knocked over the Welshman 
and caught the bad in the wrong 
order, but this unnecessary rough¬ 
ness (to borrow a term from 
American football) was never 
going to lose him English friends 
in a match against Wales. 

Carting’s fire is most obvious in 
defence. There is something won¬ 
derfully demented about his tack¬ 
ling and covering, all 5ft 11 in and 
14st 21b of him. But the most 
important aspect of Carting’s 
abfity is supposed to be ms 
leadership. 

Geoff Cooke, the England man- 
ager, has said th at his single 
shrewdest move was to make 
Parting ca ptain in 1988. Calling 
was stm in his smoothie subaltern 
period at the time, a bey of 22. 

The move gave Cooke Carling's 
massive and unswerving loyalty. 
The two have forged what some 
have called “an unholy alliance” 
Cooke’s influence on Carting has 
been so immense that it most have 
seemed as if Cooke was not only 
directing things from the sideline. 


-on the field 
in the body of one of his players. 

Carting has expanded to fill the 
role allotted to him. while remain¬ 
ing emphatically Cooke’s man. He 
has shouldered a massive weight 
of public appearances as the game 
has raised its profile as never 
before. Carting became foe puWic 
face of English rugby, of successful 
English rugby. And so. after the 
1991. rugby union World Cup, it 
was Carting, and not Cooke, who 
got file OBE. 

Carting has specialised in cap¬ 
taincy his public profile is bound 
up with leadership- “I cant see a 
time when I would be a mere 
player by choice," he said when the 
England squad was doing its 
warm-weather training in 
Lanzarote. “If the captaincy were 
taken from me, that would be 
accepted. But I enjoy leadership, 
and I see no point in giving it up.” 

There was a classic failure of 
leadership in that famous defeat 
against Scotland in 1990. the 
grand-slam decider. From the 
stands, it seemed that Carting's 
riprisfom to kick a penally was 
rejected by the forwards: “The bqys 
want to go for it” The full bade, 
who had trotted up to take the kick, 
was trotted bade again. The for¬ 
wards became a human battering 
ram. went for the try. and got 
nothing. Within two minutes they 
had blown die opportunity, dis¬ 
rupted team morale and lost the 
grand slam. The bqys went for iL 
Ironically. this may have 
strengthened Carting’s position. 
Certainly, he has become a tough¬ 
er character since and England 
have won their successive grand 
dams. Carting has surfed on a 
wave of monumental success. The 
game’s spectacular rise in popular¬ 
ity, the World Cup and the 
unbroken string of English vic¬ 
tories have all put rugby in a 
unique position. Carting is now 
one of England’s handful of main 
sporting celebs: Linford, Gazza, 
Gary, Nigel —and WflL 
Carting must now brace himself 
for the backlash. It always comes. 
What he has been praised for. he 
will soon be blameafor—especial¬ 
ly if England don’t win die grand 
slam. And they may very well not 
England are expected to win it: 
people have forgotten how difficult 
n is to pull it off. Defeat is a 
perfectly possible scenario, and it 


will seem to the public Eke a 
disaster. 

There are a few people in rugby 
who wiE gloat over an Engfeh 
defeat especially if it involves the 
fell of Carling. He attracts die 
green-eyed monster in many. For 
a start he has made a tot Of money 
from rugby. He runs a company. 
Insights, that gives talks to busi¬ 
ness people on things Eke motiva¬ 
tion. No doubt his psychology 
degree and his army background 
are useful assets — but not half as 
useful as being England ragby 
captain. This seems to me a s tu te 
and sensible exploitation of his 


personal adiievments. Rugby die- 
hards see it as a sin against the 
Holy Ghost. 

“I am a shy person," Carting 
says. "I don't Eke people to think l 
am pushing myself forward afl the 
time.” Wefl. yes and no. Carting 

once posed snipped to the waist for 

a magazine. “I know now h was a 
big mistake;" he admits. 

But Carting's life has been 
frighteningly shin on mistakes. 
When times change — and times 
change fester in sport than in axry 
other walk of ISe — we wffl team 
more about Carting, and so w® 
Carling. 


So fer. everything he has 
touched has turned to gold, bar¬ 
ring that 1990 misfortune at 
Munayfidd and even that was 
eventually turned to good account 
Defeat in the final of the World 
Cup had the savour of gallant 
near-triumph, rather titan over¬ 
riding failure. 

Carting has remai ne d an equa¬ 
ble and easy-going man. It is a 
pleasure to meet him: he is a 
genuine and apoeable person, 
even when the cameras are not 
about He moves into a season in 
which success is expected. With the 
game's greater foflowing, infinite¬ 


ly gnaw recriminations w® greet

looms. It comes via Richie

Stuart Jones, football correspondent on the statistics which reveal that skill is being sacrificed for speed and stamina 

Denmark’s triumph a striking example of efficiency 



Schmeichel the most secure goalkeeper in the finals 


DENMARK won the Euro¬ 
pean championship in June 
despite averaging the fewest 
number of attacks per game in 
the finals, according to a 
statistical study published by 
Uefe, European football's gov¬ 
erning body. 

The same study suggests 
that international football is 
following the same trend as 
foe Premier League. The pace 
of foe continental game is 
quickening as fast as foe 
domestic version and, in both 
cases, not- necessarily for foe 
better. 

The .report concludes that 
players will need to develop 
the speed of sprinters and the 
stamina of long-distance run¬ 
ners to be able to keep up with 
foe ever-increasing tempo. 
The prospect conjures up vi¬ 
sions of hordes of headless 
chickens scuttling around a 
farmyard. 

Unsympathetic observers 
might suggest that England 
offered a passable impression 
of the brainless birds in Swe¬ 
den. The argument tends to be 
supported by foe figures pro¬ 
duced by Fekka Luhtanen, a 
Finnish member of Uefa’s 
committee for technical dev¬ 
elopment Graham Taylor's 
confused and disorganised 
side, he reports, was officially 
the most inefficient in the 
tournament 

Although England mount¬

for their adventurous spirit 
they fashioned fewer openings 
and scored only once. Even 
foe Commonwealth of Inde¬ 
pendent States, who finished 
last and also scored a solitary 
goal were more precise. 

No nation was more eco¬ 
nomical than foe eventual 
champfons. Denmark, invited 
to take foe place of Yugoslavia, 
barely a week before foe 
tournament began, completed 
a fairy story with a carefully 
considered strategy based 
more on collective industry 
than on individual ability. 

Employing a sweeper, they 


flooded midfield and operated 
with two forwards who were 
prepared to defend in foe 
opposition’s half. “Denmark 
gained die advantage by 
bringing an extra man into 
midfield, ” Uefa’s report 
assesses, “and fry playing ag¬ 
gressively. Their opponents 
did not bare time or space to 
make decisions on foe baH 
The Danish strikers began 
pressurising their opponents 
before they had reached foe 
halfway line.” 

Luhtanen also notes that, 
per game throughout the tour¬ 
nament Denmark averaged 


the least number of attacking 
moves in the last fond of tire 
field. When they reached foe 
danger zone, however, the 
Danes were foe most efficient , 
scoring from L2 per cent of the 
chances they created. Sweden, 
semi-finalists, were next bet 
with Il.I percent 
The pressing game, as foe 
sdf-expknatDiy tactic is 
known, race benefited Eng¬ 
lish dubs in European compe¬ 
tition, Most foreign teams 
have since adopted foe ploy, 
and nobody is more adept at 
suppressing the opposition 
than AC Milan, now unbeat¬ 


able in Italy and the over¬ 
whelming favourites to win 
the European Cup this season. 

The Danes perfected the 
system six months ago. They 
won more tackles and inter¬ 
cepted more often than the 
other seven finalists. Their 
willi n g n ess to work for each 
other was demonstrated most 
graphically in their semi-final 
against Holland, when Sive- 
baek, an injured full bade, 
played as a limping centre 
forward and Povlsen dropped 
bade into the sweeper's role. 

Sivebaek was one of three 
members of foe team who hart 
. gained experience of the press¬ 
ing game in England. He was 
once at Manchester United, 
Schmeichd’S employers, while 
Nielsen played under Taylor 
at Aston Villa. Since the 
summer, Jensen has joined 
Arsenal and Piechxuk has 
moved to Liverpool. 

As i n d i cated fay recent trans¬ 
fers in the Premier League; no 
longer are foe best goalkeep¬ 
ers necessarily English. Statis¬ 
tically, foe most secure during 
the European championship 
were Schmeichel whose save 
from van Basten in the penalty 
shootout took Denmark into 
foe fina l and Kharin. of the 
CIS ami now of Chelsea. 

According to Uefa’s study, 
either foe standard of 
goalkeeping has imp r oved or 
tire shooting is less accurate. 
On average, more than 14 
chances had to be created in 


Sweden before a goal wx 
scored. In Germany four yean 
cariier, only 11 were required 

The comparative figure 
suggest that forwards an 
bemg given less time, tike the 
rest of their colleagues, in 
which to correct their sights. II 
can be no coincidence foal 
goalscoring moves are being 
conducted at a higher speed, 
albeit by a fractional margin, 
than even two years ago. 

During the last World Cup 
in Italy, it took on average 12 
seconds for an attack to be 
concluded successfully. One 
second was shaved off that 
time in Sweden, principally 
becau se a remarkably high 
proportion of goals (38 per 
cent) were scored as a direct 
result of set-pieces. The aver¬ 
age act ua l playing time per 
match was a mere 57 minutes. 

“We can expect foe tempo of 
the game to remain at its 
current level or even to in¬ 
crease,’* the study concluded. 
“Players wffl nptire even 

greater skills and speed. Speed 

of thought in taking chances 
will also be important and 

teamwork wfli beccnoie an even 
more vital factor. 

“From tire physical point of 
view, higher speed andendur- 
agcelevds wffl be required, 
riayers who are creative, intri- 
ugent and aggressive wffl be 
essential components of all

LEST those of metropolitan

swagger and flatter them¬

Hastings, who leads Scotland 
against Irdand this afternoon, 
affirmed that the .events at 
Murrayfidd should not be 
thought of as merely any other 
business to the maim item on 
Twickenham’s agenda. 

“It is much too soon," he 
said yesterday, “to say that the

He is nonetheless aware 
that a seemingty irreconcilable 
division of class has emerged. 
The five nations’ champion¬

and have-nots of European

enham. the have-nots are here 
in Edinburgh while the third 
of this latter class, Wales, sit it

There is much that both 
Scotland and Ireland need to

drawn from a narrow base of 
available players. So much so 
that Scotland, in their original 
selection, included three play¬ 
ers whose Scottish qualifica¬ 
tions depended on a long 
ancestral search and a trawl of 
dubs south of the border. 

Ireland are in a similar 
quandary. Although they have 
introduced three new caps, 
their team has undergone a 
dramatic transformation since 
the World Cup. In that time, 
twelve players have fallen by 
the wayside. Ciaran Fitzger¬ 
ald, the coach, has also been 
replaced try Gerry Murphy, 
who is in his first season at this 
leveL 

In contrast, Ian MeGeech- 
an. bis opposite number, has 
been around since 1985 yet. 
today, finds himself in not too 
dissimilar circumstances. He 
has to build a team again. 
“My approach has to be 
different to what it has been in 
recent years.'* he said. “With¬ 
out the bard core of mature 
players, the experience before 
a game is not the same. Young 
players need to establish them¬ 
selves gradually as interna¬ 
tional players." 

They will embark on their 
quest at a MurrayS eld that has 
also evolved out of all recogni¬ 
tion. Gone are the open ends 
at the north and south, to be 
replaced by splendid new 
stands. Only the old west 
stand remains/which gives the 
ground a capacity of 55,000 
seated spectators. 

The game this afternoon 
traditionally serves up a good 
quality of running rugby that 
has been highly entertaining 
in the past The last two five 
nations' matches here have 
produoed 121 points and. in 
the last five encounters be¬ 
tween them, 26 tries. 

However, Ireland's priority 
is to halt a sequence of failures 
that has not seen them win in 
die last five contests.

By David Hands 

RUGBY CORRESPONDENT 

IN 1992 France were longs of 
student rugby. They enjoyed 
two victories over England, 
including one in the quarter¬ 
final of the Student World 
Cup last summer, so yester¬ 
day’s victory by two goals and 
two penalty goals to three 
penalties at windswept Cam¬ 
bridge was sweet indeed for 


England. It was not the most 
convincing of victories though. 

England lost the, lineout 
battle and were under some 
pressure in the scrums but 
were shored up by an out¬ 
standing back row. 

They could not have wanted 
a better start within two 
minutes they had stolen a 
French scrum ball. Adams 
broke to the open side and 
Bracken suddenly found the 
defence melting before him. 

The lanky StLmpson con¬ 
verted and added two penal¬ 
ties before the French knew

where, they were. When 
Mazas. the only international 
in the French team, landed a 
penalty before halftime it 
seemed likely that the French 
would take greater advantage 
of the conditions In the second 
half. 

However, a succession of 
handling mistakes and the 
keen defence of the English 
flankers, aided by Diprose, 
turned them bade even 
though Mazas was able to 
float over two of five second- 
half penalty attempts. Brack¬ 
en’s long break enable 
O’Leary to use his great pace 
for the try which put England 
out of reach.

Time-lost 

dispute 

continues 

By Barry Pickthall 

AS RICHARD Tudor and 
his crew on the dismasted 
yacht, British Steel IL dose 
cm Hobart today at the end 
of a 3.000-rnIIe voyage 
tinder jury rig, the interna¬ 
tional jury was preparing to 
judge the time allowances to 
give other crews who went 
to their aid at sea. 

Three skippers, including 
Fete Goss, who trained aD 
the crews, have condemned 
the 16- and 12-hour allow¬ 
ances recommended try the 
race secretary. Captain 
Spencer Drummond, for the 
time lost by Heath Insured 
and Group 4 Securitas. They 
say the time lost is nearer to 
six hours. 

Drummond insisted his 
figures were more accurate: 
“We have a plot of the 
courses taken ... and the 
weather conditions, and can 
make quite accurate as¬ 
sumptions on where these 
yachts would have been had 
their crews not been good 
Samaritans. The helpers 
were following a northern 
route and enjoying fair 
winds and would have made 
greater progress than the 
complahiers who were well 
south and enduring head 
winds.” 

John McKenzie-Green, 
the chairman of the Heath 
Group sponsoring Adrian 
Donovan's yacht Heath In¬ 
sured, also spoke out yester¬ 
day against the dissenters: 
“Those who go to the aid of 
others should always gain 
an advantage. 

“I only hope that the jury 
is not driven to make a 
derision with pressure from 
a kangaroo court erf ag¬ 
grieved skippers." 


GOLF 


James rolls back the years 
to overcome all obstacles 


From Mel Webb in Santa cruz, Madeira 


THE 


soaring slopes and 
swooping valleys of Madeira 
Golf Club proved no obstacle 
to the mature and sturdy legs 
of Mark James yesterday. He 
strolled to a round of 69, 
giving him a total of 140. four 
under par, and a one-stroke 
lead at the halfway point of the 
Madeira Island Open. 

It is a little unusual to see 
James, at 39, one of the senior 
statesmen of the PGA Euro¬ 
pean Tour, in action so soon in 
the season. He happily admits 
to playing his best golf when 
the sun is on his batik and has 
wins in Tunisia and Dubai in 
the recent past to prove his 
point. 

But this is Ryder Cup year 
and the Lancastrian who 
proves his courage eveiy day of 
his life by living in enemy 
territory — Yorkshire — is not 
the sort to let a few hills come 
between him and his quest for 
eariy season Cup credits. 

A sixth appearance against 
the United States is James’s 
avowed aim this year and, if 
he continues to play anything 
like he did yesterday, he could 



Spence: one shot adrift 


well be striking another blow 
for the thirtysomethings at 
The Bdfiy in September. 

It was an extraordinary 
performance from the man 
who, tty his own confession, 
had not hit a ball on a golf 
course between the end of last 
season and Wednesday of this 
week. It has been the practise 
ground, and not a step further, 
from November to January. 

A light winter training pro¬ 
gramme did not, in any case, 
seem to affect the accuxary of 
his striking. 

Positional awareness is all 
on a course perched 2.000 feet 
above sea level and. for much 
of his round, played in a stiff 
breeze. James used a one-iron 
with killing effect 

OnthesharptydownhiD 1st 
he hit a one-iron into position 
A and landed a beautifully 
floated eight-iron as softly as a 
feather only two feet away, 
holing the putt for a birdie. 

He reduced the 2nd. also 
wending its way down away 
from the clubhouse, to a one- 
iron and a five-iron. Two putts 
from 25 feet made it two 
birdies in succession. 

He dropped a shot on the 
5th. when he three-putted 
from 25 feet, but then played 
flawless golf in going to the 
turn in 35. negotiating the 
switchback fairways with the 
skill that comes only with 
experience. There's no point 
in getting old if you don’t get 
dever. 

Another birdie on the I Oth 
took him to two under par for 
the day. three under for the 
tournament and the hole that 
thrust him to the top of the 
leaderboard was the par-five 
12th. played downwind- 

A superbly controlled one- 
iron left him with nothing 


more than a six-iron to the 
green and two putts from 25 
feet put die find red number 
of the day on his card. 

James is being pursued by 
Mark Davis, of Essex, and 
Jamie Spence, while Jeff Hall, 
the surprise first-round leader, 
found that toe burden of 
having his bag carried by a 
member of toe press corps was 
too much of a handicap. 

Hall dropped five shots and 
finished with a 77 but as one 
of six players on two under 
par. is still not out of conten¬ 
tion. His caddie, it is under¬ 
stood. is not being retained.

Bayul’s 
stoiy 
comes to 
light 

Prom Michael Coleman 

IN HELSINKI 

THE Oksana Bayul story gets 
better and better. It now 
emerges that the Ukrainian, 
aged 15. who won toe wom¬ 
en’s silver medal on Thursday 
in the European champion¬ 
ships here, is an orphan as 
well as a novice at this 
level. 

“My mother died last year 
and my father a long time 
ago.** she said through her 
coach. Valentin Nikolayev, 
who interpreted. “I live with 
my grandmother in Dnepro¬ 
petrovsk when not training in 
Odessa." 

Nikolayev said he had spot¬ 
ted Bayul a year ago and 
brought her to Odessa on toe 
Black Sea in the deep south of 
Ukraine. Her training group 
there included Viktor 
Petrenko, the world and 
Olympic champion last year. 

Bayul. a slim girl of 5ft 3in. 
plays no other sport saw 
skating. “1 was too thick for 
ballet," she said surprisingly. 
Nikolayev also said she need¬ 
ed skates. “Her boots are 
excellent, but toe blades are 
Russian, pitted and rusty/' he 
said. “Do you know of any¬ 
body?" That question should 
have been adequately an¬ 
swered before the world cham¬ 
pionships in Prague this 
March. 

Suiya Bonaly secured her 
third title as expected, though 
not with her usual bravura 
performance. She doubled the 
loop and stepped out of her 
triple toe, but five of her other 
three rotation jumps were 
dean, two of them in combi¬ 
nation, toe salchow and sec¬ 
ond triple toe. The latter jump 
must be keeping Katarina 
Witt awake at night 
Bonaly has even found 
some Finnish for local tee- 
vision and has gained poise 
since being called on to take 
the Winter Olympics oath last 
March with President Mitter¬ 
rand at her side. 

In yesterday's original 
dance the only casualties were 
toe Italians, Stefania Calegari 
and Pasquale Cameriengo, 
toe male partner losing his 
balance in toe Viennese Waltz 
and sitting down. 

This dropped them a place 
to fifth, but more importantly 
for the Finns it relieved toe 
pressure on toe Helsinki 
couple Susanna Rahkamo 
and Petri Kokka who held on 
to third place 

Marika Humphreys and 
Justin Lanning, of Britain, 
held on to twelfth place, 
Marika making the point that 
this was the same position as 
in last season’s junior world 
championships. 

Like Bayul they seem to 
have moved up a league or two 
comfortably. 



Noilly Prat is Faperitif definitifi 

Before lunch, before dinner- the delicious, dry, 
rounded, taste of Noflty Prat cleanses toe palate and 
stimulates toe appetite like no other aperitif 
Fine wines matured in oak for 3 years in the sun¬ 
drenched South of France, enriched with a secret blend 
of more than 40 herbs, produce the unique taste.

SATURDAY JANUARY 16 1993 


Five nations’ champions open quest for third successive grand slam at Twickenham today 


Dooley’s withdrawal tests England’s nerve 


By David Hands, rugby correspondent 


ENGLAND’S serene 
progress into rugby union’s 
five nations’ championship 
and the pursuit of a unique 
third successive grand slam 
suffered a rude jolt yesterday 
when Wade Dooley withdrew 
from today's match against 
France at Twickenham in the 
opening round of the 
competition. 

Dooley. 35. and the holder 
of 52 caps, aggravated a thigh 
injury in training yesterday 
morning. His place in the 
second row goes to Martin 
Johnson, from Leicester, who 
will win his first cap. but Geoff 
Cooke, the England team 
manager, was unable to dis¬ 
guise his disappointment, “it’s 
a blow but we always say we 
have the strength and depth to 
cover such situations," he said. 

It would have been Dooley’s 
tenth appearance against the 
French in a career going back 
to 1985. His departure; in 
what is probably his last 
international season, makes 
the England second row the 
least experienced area of the 
side — Martin Bayfield has 
played only one full champ¬ 
ionship season — but it ad¬ 
vances the day when Johnson. 


‘Wfll Carling has become 
the smoothie media darling: 
he allows just the right 
amount of designer stubble' 

Saturday portrait page 34 


long regarded as Dooley’s 
successor, makes his debut 

Johnson. 22, is 6ft 7in and 
1 7hst and counts among his 
honours appearances for New 
Zealand Under-21 during a 
season spent in that country. 
He played in England B’s 
successful 1992 season but a 
shoulder injury removed him 
from the B tour to New 
Zealand last summer. He was 
due to play last night in the A 
international at his home dub 
but was brought to London in 
the morning: since he has 
taken no pan in training. 
England’s lineout tactics will 
inevitably be affected. 

Even so. they remain 
favourites to sustain an un¬ 
beaten record in the champ¬ 
ionship going back to that 
marvellous March day in 
1990. when the grand slam 
went north of die border. 
Marvellous for the Scots that 
is. It was the final piece in the 
English jigsaw which mould¬ 
ed their team into the domi¬ 
nant force in the northern 
hemisphere. Pierre Berbizier, 
coach to the French team, calls 
them the reference point for 
European rugby — he calls 


them various other things as 
welL along the lines of agents 
provocateurs, but the champ¬ 
ionship can do without 
another burst of polemics. 

Along the way England 
have become the reference 
point in other senses: they 
have argued that their prima¬ 
ry role is winning, with enter¬ 
tainment coming second. To 
their credit they have man¬ 
aged both, but their growing 
commercial value has put the 
squad firmly into the enter¬ 
tainment field. 

This week alone the Eng¬ 
land squad have announced 
three sponsorships to aug¬ 
ment their “Run with the 
Ball” campaign; more are due 
to follow. Those companies 
hope to back a horse that wins 
and entertains. 

The five nations has “event” 
status now, which means mas¬ 
sive public interest England 
are the cream on the event 
cake: where they go, commer¬ 
cially speaking, players from 
the other home unions would 
like to follow and soon the 
amateur regulations will have 
to be closely looked at again. 

For today, though, the 
game, sponsored by Save and 
Prosper, is the tiung. Cook 
admits: “For all the other 
teams this season England 
will be the biggest game. We 
are the side they want to beat 
more than anyone.” Whether, 
despite England’s late change, 
this French team can crush die 
rose remains doubtful. 

In the fivfe matches since the 
last championship ended they 
have used 32 players and 
though they some fine individ¬ 
uals, they lack collective com¬ 
posure. Jean-Francois Tordo 
also has yet to prove himself 
an international leader. 

“The French are very mo¬ 
bile. specially in the back five,” 
Dick Best, England’s coach, 
said. “They have tremendous 
ball-winning potential and 
you rarely see a bad French 
scrummaging side. They have 
dangerous broken-field run¬ 
ners. The biggest threat of all 
is their unpredictability. The 
moment you relax they are 
away — as they showed last 
time they were here." 

As it happens, three of the 
four men who made “that" try 
in the 1991 match are here 
again: Phillipe Sella. Didier 
Camberabero and Phillipe 
Saint-Andre. The missing 
component is the unique 
Serge Blanco and that is an 
ingredient the French cannot 
replace. They look to have the 
makings of a good lineout but 
whether Aubin Hueber can 
find his jumpers (the French 
have reverted to their scrum 
half as thrower) remains to be 



Running into trouble Dooley, left, stands out in training yesterday, but later, right trudges off disconsctiatefy after injuring histhigh 


seen. ThQr have had their own 
worries, too, with Olivier 
Roumat the lock, suffering a 
virus and Christope Mougeot 
has been drafted in for 
coverage. 

England's desire to win 
remains fierce, for the old 
guard as well as the newcom¬ 
ers. Johnson. Ian Hunter and 
Ben Clarke. Hunter, the 
Northampton full bade now 
playing wing, is a key attacker

while Clarke, Bath’s splendid¬ 
ly athletic No. 8. is more the 
product of the new laws. 

Cooke admits the regula¬ 
tions have forced England to 
look at themselves. “Maybe 
time wfll show them to be a 
good thing to have happened 
to this England side at this 
time," he said. “We have to 
come to terms with broken 
fields and flat defences. The 
side that handles that best wfll 
be successful in this 
championship." 

To this end, the Rugby 
Football Union, who will host 
a crowd of 54,500, have 
posted a camera at one end 
specifically to monitor where 
space occurs in the first 
championship match played 
under the revised laws. 

It should also record an 
English victory, while Scot¬ 
land, in the Royal Bank of 
Scotland match at Murray- 
Held. should retain the Centu¬ 
ry Quaich. which Ireland have 
yet to lay hands on since the 
trophy was offered for compe¬ 
tition in 1989. For either side 
victory’ would be more hand¬ 
some than any prize for style. (ctacbhents: i« p h * Giamaio

Halliday 
pants by 
numbers 


THE marathon. It is a dis¬ 
tance that excites great 
passions and provokes great 
crimes. John Halliday. vice- 
president of operations at the 
Chemical Bank in London, 
went to New York in Novem¬ 
ber to run the New York 
Marathon for the fourteenth 
time. If you think that is 
crazy, what he did next was 
insane. 

On arriving in New York, 
he put his bag down for a 
moment. Gone Passport, 
wallet, credit cards, the loL 
Gone also was his race 
number for the New York 
Marathon. Later. Halliday 
discovered that the bag had 
been handed in to the race 
organisers. In it yes, pass¬ 
port, wallet credit cards, 
money. The only thing that 
had been stolen was the rare 
number. 

This is a happy story, if you 


can call running a marathon 
happy. Halliday got a new 
number and finished in 
under three-and-a-half hours. 
The event had 27.792 finish¬ 
ers — “believed to be the 
highest number for any mar¬ 
athon anywhere" — from 97 
countries. 

Gitis done good 

This column wishes to con¬ 
gratulate Arsenal on a fabu¬ 
lous season thus for after they 
eased into the League Cup 
quarter-finals with a 9-0 win. 
The manager said: “We 
knocked the bail around with 
a lot of confidence on a very 
hard top. They had no an¬ 
swer to us in the air." They go 
on to tackle the might of 
District Line in the next 
round. 

The side is, of course.. 
Aisenal Ladies, managed by 
Vic Akers. Naz Ball scored the 
fits! goal in the great adven¬ 
ture against Saltdean, Jo 
Churchman had a har-trick 
and Michelle Curley “sup¬ 
plied some great crosses”. I 
pass this on in the knowledge 
that the nation needs happy 
news from Arsenal.

□ Thomas Skuhravy, the 
Czech centre forward with 
Genoa, was returning from a 
defeat at Parma and stopped 
in a motorway cafe. A bus 
pulled in bearing 30 belli¬ 
cose fans, who rounded on 
him. “ Bastardo!" they said. 


“We are fed up!" One added: 
“/ pray you. score some 
goals'" Skuhravy replied: 
“You should not pray to 
anybody. I am not Jesus

Football fantasy 

Alan Rothenberg. the man 
running the 1994 World 
Cup. is celebrating the open¬ 
ing of a new training centre 
in California. “The pro¬ 
gramme is moving right 
along on our quest for our 
possible dream." Rothenberg 
said. “At first our coach. Bora 
Mflucinovic. was doubtful. 
Now he promises us the cup.” 
Milutinovic was also at the 
opening of the new centre. 
He made no promises.

No such thing 
as a certainty 

Here is a story that tells you of 
the eternal verities of the 
bookmaking industry'and its 
clientele. 

A couple of days ago, the 
state-run New Zealand gam¬ 
bling organisation, the 
Totalistor Agency Board, 
made the small but signifi¬ 
cant error of accepting bets on 
a dog race that had already 
taken place. There was a 
three-minute period in which 
b^s could be placed on a race 
in which die results were al¬ 
ready public knowledge. 

There was a run of 36 bets 
on the trifecta — the first three 
home — that required a pay¬ 
out of NZ$7,488 (about 
£2.500). There was also sev¬ 
eral win and place bets. 

But — and here the charac¬ 
ter of the punter is revealed 
for all time— there were 153 
losing bets struck. Even 
knowing the result, they man¬ 
aged to bade the wrong^dog. 

The bookies say that one 
punter has already confessed 
to backing the winner after 
time and has returned his 


, They also say they 
know tiie identity of another 
late winner and may ask the 
police to help them trace oth¬ 
ers. But — and here the char¬ 
acter of bookies all over the 
world is revealed for all time 
— they hare no {flans to re¬ 
fund the stake of the 153 who 
bet on the wrong dog. 

Cooking up trouble 

Peter Blake and Robin Knox- 
Johnson have beat arguing 
with each other since 1971. 
They propose to continue the 
argument in Thor forthcom¬ 
ing around-th&-worid-in-80- 
OKOdays catamaran stunt 

At the moment the princi¬ 
pal topic of argument is food. 
It is Kncoc-Johnson’s habit to 
live off cuny: to keep an ever- 
more-aromatic pot going for 
the duration of the voyage. 
Blake has always been under 
Knox-Johnson's command 
On previous wyages but this 
time they are co-skippers. 
That gives Blake the leverage 
to insist no curries. .

RANGERS bare been frus¬

David Murray, the owner of

that Tottenham Hotspur had

“We were not prepared to

p&yer. ■ 

Durie, 27, a Scottish inter¬ 
national, dearly thought so 
too. Alter training with the

Durie, a Rangers supporter, 
has made no secret of his 
enthusiasm for moving to 
Glasgow, now that he is 
unable to command a- first

has failed to settle in London 
and his attitude and commit¬

thinks a recession is 
a good time to

restaurant

DENZJL McNEQANCE 


O n the St Valentine's 
weekend next month. 
Sir Terence Conran will 
open London^ largest, 
most glamorous and doubtless 
busiest brasserie. It might seem 
perverse when we are rirpposed to 
be suffering in die dunes- of a 
recession, but Sir Terence insists it 
is not He sees his £2.5 million 
resurrection of Quagfino’s in Bury 
Street, St James's, only as putting 
die finishing touch to what be 
believes is London’s new role, as the 
eatingkrut capital of the world. 

Sir Terence, who has never yet 
failed with a restaurant project 
since be cut his teeth opening Soup 
Kitchens to feed impoverished 
youngsters like himself in 1954, 
does not even believe that his 
grandiose and brilliantly decorated 
400-sealer is the boldest throw. 

“If we- had been offered the 
Criterion on Piccadilly Circus [re¬ 
opened by Bob Payton arid Rocco 
Forte last September I do not know 
that we would have dared, even 
though it is the most glorious 
room.” he says-“I am glad to know 
it is doing well because my 
argument is that good restaurants 
win always succeed. It is only bad 
ones that fail.” 

In recession-hit London, he 
points out restaurants such as 
Kensington Place, the Caprice and 
the Ivy. Marco-Piene White’s Har¬ 
vey's, Amony WarcaD-Tbompso n’s 
dellTJgo and several more have 
continued to be fidl every mealtime. 
So. indeed, have his own. 
Bibendum, Blueprint Cafe, Pont de - 
la Tour, andnewfy opened Cantina, 
del Ponte. 

His eariier successes after the 
four Soup Kitchens included The 
Orrery on then bohemian King’s 
Road, Chelsea; Chanterelle in Old 
Brampton Road, which still trades, 
though stripped of its original 
d&»r. and The Neal Street Restau¬ 
rant, an enduring success now 
owned and run by his 
bonhommous, . mushroom-loving 
brother-in-law, Antonio Cariuaaa 
He also designed a crowd-poll¬ 
ing front-ofhouse restaurant for 
the King’s Road Habitat and 
transformed Heal’s restaurant in 
the Tottenham Court Road furni¬ 
ture store when HeaTs formed part 
of his erstwhile retailing empire. 

But his serious d£but in the 
restaurant business, he says, was 
the opening of Bibendum atop the 
fabulous art nouveau monument to 
the pioneering days of motoring, 
the Michelin building in Fulham 
Road, south Kensington. For 
Bibendum he recruited chef Simon 
Hopkinson and restaurant manag¬ 
er Joel Kissin from Hilaire across 
the road. 

Mr Kissin is now Sir Terence's 
partner in most of his restaurant 
businesses, and it was he who two 
years ago made the discovery that 
Quagfino’s was for sale 
Quagfino’s is a great. If now 
rather dimly remembered, name in 
the history of the London restau¬ 
rant trade Giovanni Quaglinohad 
been mattre d'hdtel of the grand 



Gastronomic polish: Si?Terence Geni»n shows off the Qs of the new iron and bronze balusteade that will lead 300 of his diners down to the main restaurant, in the old Q uagfin o’s ballroom 


Martinez hotel in Cannes by the 
time he was 17. In 1929 he took 
over the restaurant of what was 
then die St James's Palace Hotel in 
Bury Street, winning customers 
with exceptional food and service 
arid with a fashionably late supper.. 
followed by music and dancing. 
His own personality^was die trump 
card: Giovanni Quaglino stars in 
contemporary descriptions as a 
man of genuine grace, kindness 
and char m. 

Barbara Cartiand was an eafry 
fen, her enthusiasm reportedly- 
fuelled by a pearl she was stud to 
have found in one of her*. 
Quagfino’s oysters. In a foreword to 
Quagfino's book, she reminisced: 
“After the super snobbishness of 
die great Luigi at the Embassy 
dub; the condescension of Charles 
at Oaridges; the lari of individual¬ 
ity at the Kit Kat, Quaglino was 

ma^aSfoflifedtents fed a very 
special guest Apart from die com¬ 
fort the attractiveness and the soft 
music in Bury Street die food was 
superlative and original" 

It is a formula SirTerenoe will be 
happy for his restaurant manager, 
Erie Gamier (brother of die 
London restaurateur. Didrer 
Gamier}, and his chef, Martin 
Webb (formerly senior sou&chef at 
Pont de la Tour), to repeat 

The search is on for a band to 
replace Van Straten’s six-piece or¬ 
chestra, which played for the future 
Edward VIII (whom Van Straxen 
found to be a drummer of “pass¬ 
able" ability), and for Charlie 
Chaplin (“an avid tango dancer"). 


the Mountbattens, Lady Cunard 
and Winston Churchill in 
Quagfino’s heyday in die 1930s. 
The new Quagfino’s is also audi¬ 
tioning for a successor to Hutch 
(bom Leslie Hutchinson in Grena¬ 
da), Quagfino’s velvet-voiced resi¬ 
dent singer-pianist who became the 
United Kingdom’s favourite caba¬ 
ret artist before and after thewan 


A lthough Giovanni Quag¬ 
lino told his brother hur¬ 
ried b ade to Italy to avoid 
internment shortly before 
that country entered the war, their 
establishment continued under 
new ownership. In 1956 the 
Queen, Duke of Edinburgh and 
Queen Mother were all there to fete 
the British equestrian team which 
had triumphed in die Stockholm 
Olympics. In 1958 a banqueting 
suite nas built enabling Quag- 
lino’s to hold balls for dimities; 
regiments and old school reunions. 
It is the basement ballroom which 
isfoesiteforfoenewQiiaglmo’s. ■ 
The last time Quagfino’s hit the 
headlines was in January 1975. It 
caught fire- Tiusthouse Forte ac¬ 
quired the site for redevelopment 
Ten- years later it sold it, having 
done nothing. The ballroom be¬ 
came a dumping ground for build¬ 
ers’ rubble while die hold above 
was transformed into offices. When 
Sir Terence and Mr Kissin came 
on the scene, what they bought was 
a blade and empty hole in the 
ground under Jermyn Street 
They have a 99-year lease (“prao- 
ticafiy a freehold") and their £2.5 
million restructuring is a total one. 


There has been no attempt to 
recreate die gold and mother-of- 
pearl ceiling, safiron-and-glass 
walls and red divans of the old 
Quagfino’s: What Sir Terence has 
designed instead for London is a 
very amsideiable improvement 
upon La Coupde. the famously 
restored mega-brasserie in Paris’s 
Montparnasse. Where La Cou¬ 
pon’s owners went for a largely 
faithful recreation of their national 
treasure’s /in de sifele style, 
Conran’s big brasserie is uncom¬ 
promisingly contemporary. He has 
personally designed almost every¬ 
thing in it with the help of Keith 
Hobbs and Linzi Coppick. 

A glass canopy with an intense 
blue haze spans the Bury Street 
entrance. In the entrance foyer 
there wiE be a shop selling food¬ 
stuffs related to what the restaurant 
serves. Menus will be projected on 
to the walls. 

Pram the street it will be possible 
to look down into the restaurant, 
'and even © glimpse its centrepiece, 
the. Crustacea Anar, upon which 
oysters, lobsters, crabs and dams 
be sacrificed in the compilation 
of great plateaux dfruits de mer. 

Those who enter will descend a 
sweeping staircase to a. new mezza¬ 
nine with a glamorous, colourful 
bar. seats for 100 , and an antipasti 
seivery from which a light dish to 
accompany drinks might cost as 
fittie as £3.50. A private dining 
room down a picture-lined corridor 
at mezzanine level can be dosed off 
with blinds, or left with its windows 
looking down on the theatre of the 
restaurant below. A second white 


marble staircase with a balustrade 
of forged iron and bronze Qs 
descends © the columns and 
mirrors of the main restaurant 
which can seat 300 at round tables 
and on banquettes down the centre. 

As at other Conran restaurants 
customers wifi be able to see into 
the kitchens, and some of the 57 
chefs, at least, will have a chance to 
see their customers as they work the 
grills and rotisseries- Behind, their 
colleagues will be chopping, peel¬ 
ing, braising, and frying. 

Sir Terence and Mr Kissin are 
supremely confident Quagfino’s 
will be serving 1.200 covers day 
from the moment it opens. They 
think their ate is ideal, “up west” 
and dose to theatzdand. yet in the 
comparatively genteel quiet of St 
James’s. They think they will be 
able to provide valet parking al 
night and, subject to licence, drey 
hope for dancing till 3am on 
Fridays and Saturdays. 

“What really counts". Sir Ter¬ 
ence insists, “is first the food and 
wine, second the service, and third 
die atmosphere. Here the atmo¬ 
sphere wffl give the meal a bit. This 


Even in a recession, he insists, 
“people cannot sit at home and 
watch television every night If you 
are not moving house and refur¬ 
nishing you at least have a bit of 
money to spend on other things. 
With the reduction in mortgage 
interest rates they will be able to 
afford to swarm in here to cheer 
themselves up a bit” 

He derives extra confidence from 
the expectation that the devaluation 
of the pound since quitting die 
ERM promises a good tourist 
season for London this summer. 
“London has never served its 
tourists very wdL We have never 
had the equivalent of a La Coupole, 
but now we have die advantage 


over the French because they have 
become very caught up in their own 
tradition, while British chefs have 
been able to draw upon the entire 
world for their inspiration. 1 really 
believe that London is now the 
restaurant centre of the world." 

And Quagfino’s. he evidently 
intends, is to be the jewel in the 
new-won crown. 

• Quaglino's official opening is on the 
evening of Saturday February 13. 
Thereafter it is open Mon-Sat, noon- 
3pm and SJOpm-midnight (licensed to 
lam); Sun, noon-3pm and 530-11pm.

will not. though, be vastly expen¬ 
sive. Starters will be about £3, main 
courses from £7, and a meal with 
wine and service is likely to be 
about £30 a head. 

Sir Terence is undismayed by 
talk of recession. “Two years ago it 
would have oost us not £2.5 mOfion, 
but £4 mfifinn to do this. Now we 
have craftspeople who are pleased 
to be able to work on die project" 


Dogs, dog-ends and little puffs of pleasure 


D ogs are very like cigarettes. 
This flash of insight came 
to me two weeks ago dur¬ 
ing a flight to Barbados. I had gone 
to that hair-drier^hot heaven for 
various reasons, not all of them 
sybaritic, but during the 11-hour 
flight a passenger in the same row 
smoked roughly 25 cigarettes. She 
was. oh. about 73 years old and 
radio- tall and impressive in ap¬ 
pearance. How could anyone have 
got to that age and not managed to 
give up smoking, I wondered. She 
drew long and deeply on each one 
and as riie exhaled, her head lolled 
back in ecstatic relief. 

1 had smirked across the aisle at 
her once or twice and as we waited 
in Antigua for refuelling we talked. 

“Do excuse me," she wheezed. 
“Pm afraid I’m rather like Princess 
Margaret" She patted a story in 
that day’s tabloid: “Apparently 
smoking is her raison d’etre. It cert¬ 
ainly is mine.” she laughed bronefr- 
hicalJy. She said that smoking 
made her fed "absolutely wretched, 
my dear. And my arteries have 
narrowed so much that you’ll see a 
wheelchair waiting for me at Bar¬ 
bados. But 1 enjoy it so much I 
don't knew what I’d do without it" 





.if ^ 


Her habit was Jr ==== 
dirty, a nuisance to 
others told to her¬ 
self and made her 
ffl. but it was worth 
it for her because of 
the 40 or so bursts 
of pleasure she 
could derive from it 
everyday. 

Why, it was exact¬ 
ly like the pleasure I 1L___ 
had got from a dog 
named Sam, with whom I lived in 
the 1980s and at whose photo in 
my wallet I had been gazing 
nostalgically. Sam, a dark grey and 
white cross between a collie and an 
old English sheepdog, belonged to 
a girl named Mosh, into whose Sat 
in Chdsea \ had moved as a 
stopgap. “I’m sony, Mosh." 1 said. 
"I couldn't possibly five here unless 
you get rid of that hellish dog.” 

“Ramsplang?" Mosh said. 
“Ramsplang*s my boyfriend. He’s 
the nicest thing in my whole life. 
He's got to stay here with his 
mummy." My lip curied in con¬ 
tempt. This dog—exactly like some 
dustbin dog out of the Beano — 
had been rescued from Battersea 
dogs’ home: He was filthy and

nervous making: he charged to the 
door barking hysterically if there 
was the slightest thud. He took 
dofhes out of the laundry basket 
and ate his way through key sec¬ 
tions of them. He swiped food from 
people’s plates as they were eating. 
He panted continuously and stobd 
■ in front of you with his taS swish¬ 
ing. Obviously he wanted to go for 
a walk the whole time so one had to 
contend with manic barking, claw¬ 
ing, and springing up on his hind 
tegs almost to your free if you went 
anywhere near die door. I could 
hardly bring myself to even stay 
until I found other accommodation. 

It was such a short time before I 
fell in love with Sam. He became 
my raison d’etre. I thought about

day and made my¬ 
self massively un¬

took him. He made

down dales all day.

the happiness! The love that we all 
bestowed on him. including my 
husband when be moved in, and 
the patting and talking nonsense. 

When friends came round their 
lips aizied in contempt. Sam, being 
long-haired, was usually filthy. He 
often nudged guests’ elbows when 
they -were holding drinks. All over 
die country other people were 
taking their dogs for walks, leaving 
dog messes in the street, just as 
ashtrays were also filling up round 
die country, and people were also 
loving their dogs despite the appall¬ 
ing nuisance they caused. 

Then a friend dropped in with a 
child of two. Sam bit the fittie boy. 
because be was standing beside a 


dropped sandwich. We had forgot¬ 
ten he didn't like children. 

- It was a bad moment We 
realised then that neither Mosh nor 
I could get married and keep Sam. 
Perhaps I loved Sam more than 
Mosh did because I felt attached 
enough to him to almost consider 
giving up the chance of having a 
child and devoting my life to Sam. 
going to live in the country with 
him. Reader, I would have married 
him, even though he was a dog. 
TTie only trouble was, I realised that 
it wouldn’t be worth it in foe long 
run. He was already about three 
and as a dog's life expectation is 
only about 11 years that meant 1

mother met a kind lady in foe 
Cotswokls who took him. She gave 
him the kind of dog's life he deserv¬ 
ed. Now he lives the happiest fife of 
any dog in the kingdom; his new 
mistress takes him riding every day 
and sometimes he just ats and 
pants, and sometimes he just sits. 

So I broke my addiction to him. 
But is my life richer without those 
daily bursts of pleasure which 
annoyed everyone else so much? It’s 
very hard to say yes.

BOLSHOI BALLET: The Boishoi 
may not be one of the world's best 
ballet companies arty more, but 
this “stadium" event is impressive 
nonetheless: a five-week season 
offering 37 performances of 12 
famous ballets playing to a 
potential audience of 137,000 in the 
Albert Hall. What fails to impress 
is Yuri Grigorovtch's idea of 
condensing fuH-Jength works 
into less than an hour, thereby 
offering three every night With 
The Nutcracker, Ivan the Terrible and 
Legend of Love on the same bill, 
it makes fdr strange programming.

SATURDAY JANUARY 16 1993 


OUT OF TOWN 




a working girl called Prudence 





I could give you your cheque 
back right now. I could, hon¬ 
est." Farmer Phdps said in a 
Gloucesterahire accent as rich as 
the county^ cheese. “I don’t want to 
see her go. honest I don’t" 

This touching scene was enacted 
at the door to his cowshed as I 
reversed my trailer towards it a 
wide-eyed red cow watching my 
every move. 

"Get Mother to come and hold 
this gate,'' he called to his son as he 
man-handled an iron hurdle to 
form a race down which the cow 
could run.' But we did not need 
Mother. The red cow merely fol¬ 
lowed her inquisitive calves who 
had bravely led the way. and with a 
few footsteps she was up the ramp 
and in the trailer, sniffing the hay, 
counting her calves, and giving me 
the haughty look of a lady who 
wishes .it to be known that she 
heeds no help at afiwhen.it comes 
to ri i mhin g ramps. 


"I don't like to see ’em 
go. that I donX" Farmer 
Phelps said. The only 
thought that prevented 
him from bursting into 
teats was. perhaps, the fact 
that not only was this fine 
cow returning to the land 
of her forebears—she is a 
Red Poll a native breed of East 
Anglia—but she is to spend the rest 
of her days on a form not much 
different from the one she has left. 

like ours, the Phelps’s farm is out 
of its time: he is a commercial 
farmer who depends on his daily 
herd for a living, but bis attitudes 
and his practices are closer to what 
we do here than on any other 
commercial farm I have visited. 
Minimal amounts of artificial fertil¬ 
isers are used, and stock is fed 
simply and traditionally on home- 


grown hay and cereals. 
This in iteelf is not all that 
raze; but what sets him 
apart is his unswerving 
devotion to the Red Pofi 
cow, an old and" officially 
rare breed that a less 
enlightened fanner would 
consider to be as obsolete as 
the steam engine. It is true that the 
mightier animals produced by mas- • 
sive continental beasts appear to be ■ 
a more profitable bet but ova- a 
pipe .Mr Phelps passed on his 
wisdom. “An old farmer told me 
that it's not how much of it is owed 
to somebody else.” A big beast will 
make more beef, yet it might have 
cost more to put the flesh cm him. 
“Trouble with farmers,” said . 
Phdps, “is they follow fashion. No r 
one worse than a fanner for that" 
But fashions change and some 




’ vy w 




farmers are beginning to appreci¬ 
ate the virtues of the older native 
breeds which they have been happy 
to ditch over the last 50 years. It is 
mod news for Red Poll cattle, for 
they are a truly dual puipose breed.

Cornucopia of lasting colour Caroline Alexander and her husband. Wffiiam, make and seD 200,000bunches of dried flowers and grasses a year, using more than 60 varieties 


I n a converted cart lodge, 
Caroline Alexander gathers 
swathes of dried flowers, 
grasses and seedheads. She is 
preparing displays to lighten a 
large fireplace and a dark comer of 
a room. The flowers indude blue 
cornflower, white achillea, yellow 
solidago. and mauve artichoke. 

“I like dried arrangements which 
reflect the way things grow natural- 
w ly." she says. “But in another place 
something formal may wefl be 
better. It depends entirely on your 
room or need." 

Soft greys of eucalyptus and blue 
echinops set off terracotta 
carthamos and dark-red amaran- 
thus. Gold and green grasses 
combine with rare flowers, such as 
cariine thistle, that MisAlexander 
has recently developed. 

The different shades, some gen¬ 
tle. some vibrant, the strong shapes 
and textures are all part of the wide 
selection of dried flowers and 
^ grasses she and her husband. 
W William, sell at The -Hop Shop ttt 
their farm in the Darenth valley, 
near Shorcham in Kent 
With more than 60 varieties 
available, all grown on foe 
downland slopes near¬ 
by, even in the depths 
of winter there is some¬ 
thing for any room or 
taste. The shop is proof - 
that a small business 
can flourish in a 
gloomy dimate, eco- - 
nomic or seasonal. 

Their collection is 
the result of an idea the 
Alexanders had one _ 


The drying art of 
flowers 
for all seasons 

Farming cutbacks led the Alexander family into a fascinating 
and profitable new business venture. Bea Cowan reports

production, packaging and mar¬ 
keting. They gathered information 
wherever they could, and experi¬ 
mented at home with the zest 
They started with grasses famil¬

niques on these. Their earliest

ready selling the dried 
dimbing stems of hops 
after the autumn bar- - 
vest u pubs and hotels. 

Mr Alexander was looking for 
ways to diversify from traditional 
fanning to meet the changes of tire 
Common Agricultural Polity. To¬ 
gether they began to explore ways 
to make the dried-flowers idea a 
reality. 

Earlier, Mr Alexander had won a 
Venture carii award offered by the 
National Westminster Bank and 
the National Farmers’ Union for 
farming-related enterprises, and 
with part of the proceeds they went 
to Holland to meet the world’s 
flower suppliers. 

They explored the range of 
flowers and grasses .that would 
respond to drying and began to 


experiments included drying grass¬ 
es such as millet and rye in the 
kitchen above the Aga. Then they 
moved on to an eveFwidenmg 
range of flowers. 

“We were constantly finding out 
new things," Mis Alexander says. 
“Choosing the exact moment ro 
harvest the flowers and grasses is 
crucial; it makes all the difference to 
their ability to retain colour, and 
the length m time they will last It is 
also vital to select the right tempera¬ 
ture and speed for drying-tine 
different varieties." 

They continue to develop mat 
aspect of production as well as 
researching new and forgotten 


flowers. Mr Alexander’s sense of 
business management and his 
interest in horticultural research 
combines well with his wife’s 
training in garden design. 

At different stages in their ven¬ 
ture, the Alexanders made impor¬ 
tant decisions. At the start they 
derided not to compete with the 
Dutch in the, range of 
flowers, but settled for 
developing a smaller 
selection that included 
. new and unusual 

items, such as the car¬ 
line thistle. 

More recently, after 
a business manage¬ 
ment course, they 
chose to limit immedi¬ 
ate expansion. “We felt 
flPTVf it far better to consoli- 

ij.vxil date what we have 

i achieved so far and

acres we hare devd- 
oped. WeuytokeqjR 
>p . scrupulous eye. on 

X quality and maintain 

personal contact with 
our customers," Mis 
■t Alexander says. 

IgUl This means a con¬ 
stant watch, from the 
moment die first seeds 
. are sown in the spring 

■ ~~ to die time, in late 

November. When the last towers 
have beat dried. Each of the 60 
annuals, perennials and grasses 
requires individual care and atten¬ 
tion. The bunches are on by hand, 
stems always a specified length. 
They hang to dry in kilns designed 
by Mr Alexander. 

Some are subtly dyecL Afl are 
then carefully boxed and kept in 
humidity^oittrolled stores to retain 
their full potential for design and 
colour co-oriinarfon. 

Since they began, demand for 
the flowers has increased each year, 
trebling for each of the first three 
years, doubling each year since 
then. The kilns, which can diy 


10.000 bunches at a time, are 
working non-stop from mid-sum¬ 
mer until well into late autumn. 

In all the Alexanders produce 
about 200.000 bunches of flowers 
and grasses a year, which sell for an 
average of E2-£3. They supply trade 
and retail customers from their 
shop and by mail order, through¬ 
out this country and abroad. 

The ultimate seal of approval lies 
in die Alexanders’ three gold 


medals, awarded by the Royal 
Horticultural Society at its West¬ 
minster shows in autumn 1991 
and 1992. These are the only gold 
medals ever awarded by the society 
for dried-flower displays. As a 
result, the Alexanders have been 
invited to exhibit at tire Chelsea 
Flower Show in May. 

A founder member of the British 
Dried Flowers Association, a na¬ 
tionwide group of producers. Mis 
Alexander finds her insistence on 
quality has paid off by overcoming 
early doubts among buyers about 
the reliability of the consistency of 
British dried flowers. 

For the Alexanders, The Hop 
Shop is more than just a successful 
new business. It is something they 
have built up together and enjoy. 
With the rest of the farm to run, 
and with three young children ai 
home, time is always at a premium 
but the Alexanders have no doubt 
their dawn idea has proved 
worthwhile.

pointed the cow, called Prudence, 
eastwards. 1 took her for a big- 
dipper ride along COtswold lanes 
which she did not mind; but the 
succession of roundabouts known 
as Milton Keynes had her bellow¬ 
ing. After six hours we arrived 
home and she ambled down the 
ramp, sniffed the air, nosed her 
calves into the shed and took deep 
draughts of water. 

But life is never going to be the 
same for Prudence. All her working 
days she has "been a dairy cow, 
robbed of her calves after a week 
and put to work to produce milk for 
the ladies of Cheltenham to pour 
daintily into their tea. Prudence has 

worked for her daily bread, spent 
hours in the clanking milking 
parlour, being sucked dry. She has 
not complained; it was her career. 

But now, in mid-life, she must 
change. She must learn to be a full¬ 
time, stay-ai-home mother. It could 
be quite a shock for a working 


woman to suddenly find that her 
cosy, office-life routine of the milk¬ 
ing parlour is replaced by the 
constant pestering of her young 
offspring demanding meals at all 
hours. Still, she can always turn to 
our white cow. Sage, for advice. 
Sage has made a career out of 
motherhood, has raised five strap¬ 
ping calves of her own. and knows 
precisely the moment when the 
loving has to stop and the butting 
with her shiny nose has to begin. 

With Sage's hdp. Prodence will 
learn all these tricks in time. Bui for 
the moment she looks a little 
bewildered. Her calves are fiercely 
nosing her udder, demanding 
more, and those quiet contented 
days when she had endless hours to 
herself in which to do no more than 
chew her cud seem far behind. 

There is a look in her eye which 
tells me that she rather regrets i 
had not seized back the cheque the 
moment it was offered. 


Feather report 



To whit: the owl 


TAWNY owls are beginning to be 
noisy at nights, as they start 
courting and quarrelling over their 
breeding territories for spring. 

They spend their days sleeping in 
ivy on a tree-trunk, or in a hollow 
tree, and they rarely emerge in 
daylight But as dusk falls they fly 
out quite boldly, and can often be 
seen silhouetted against the rtipht 
sky on television aerials or high 
lamp-posts. Most often, though, 
they draw attention to their pres¬ 
ence in the darkness by their cries. 

The traditional version of their 
call “tu-whit tu-whoo", although 
accurate, runs together two sepa¬ 
rate calls, die first often made tty 
the female and the second by the 
male: The sharp “tu-whit" is a 
contact call, quite commonly heard 
on its own in the woods and parks. 
The long, wavering hooting “tu- 
whoo" is the male’s reply to a 
contact can from its mate. There 
will be a lot of such noise in the 
shrubberies from now on. 

Otherwise, the owls devote the 
night to feeding. With their large 
eyes, which face forward and give 
them good binocular vision, they 
can see most of what is going on in 
the darkness; and with their soft 
wings they can saQ silently down on 
to an unsuspecting mouse. 

It is not often you get a chance to 
look a tawny owl in the face, but if 
you do, you see dial it has a dock- 
like face set in die tower of its head 
and neck, with a white cross in the 
middle of the disc like a hot cross 
bun. and dark eyes in the angles 
either side of the cross. 

There is another common owl in 
England and Wales, of which you 
often get a good view. This is the 
little owl a daylight wanderer 
across the pastures and cornfields. 
This owi comes from central and 
eastern Europe, and was first 
successfully introduced in this 
country in the 1890s. It has 
become a thoroughly British bird 
by now. Driving slowly down a 
country road, you can find a little 
owl standing on a gatepost, staring 
back at you from beneath its white 


eyebrows. It bobs up and down 
nervously, then goes off with a 
looping flight, like a woodpecker. 

In February, the little owls will 
begin to be noisy in their turn. They 
can be heard a long way off on a 
snU day. yelping, or calling with an 
exdted “whee-oo". 

The other owl of ordinary farm¬ 
land, the bam owl, is not so 
common as it used to be. It has 
white underparts and its wings are 
completely white beneath: if it flies 
towards you at night in an ill-lit 
lane, or gets caught in the head¬ 
lights of a car, it can look extremely 
ghostly. It also has a blood-curdling 
nocturnal cry, which has given ft 
the name of “screech owl". 

When the weather is severe and 
mice are hard to come by, bam 
owls will come out to feed before 
dark, and then a solitary individual 
can sometimes be seen at the edge 
of a field, flying to and fro 
systematically as it inspects the 
ground on its long wings. 

Finally, there are two owls with 
ears — or, more accurately, ear 
tufts, as owls all have excellent 
hearing. These are the short-eared 
and long-eared owls. 

Short-eared owls are birds of 
marsh and moorland, predomi¬ 
nantly found down the eastern side 
of Britain in winter. They are 
daytime hunters and quarter the 
land for voles, with the most 
remarkable aerial movements of all 
the British owls — rolling, half- 
halting, banking and gliding. 

The long-eared owl is the most 
mysterious of them afl. and has not 
bom seen by many people. Most of 
them pass the day in thick spruce 
firs, sitting on a branch pressed up 
against the trunk. Their ear tufts 
are really long, and they have a 
moaning, triple hoot

Best seller. David Lam, assistant manager, shows off the Sunday special at Wing Yip, in Nechells 




' "1 fti K. ■ 

SVSri AttONC-: 


T he prawns alone make the 
trip to Wing Yip worth¬ 
while. Tail-on king 
prawns for just £10.55 a 
kg [2.2 lb), roughly half the normal 
price. The 21b bags of uncooked 
king prawns cost £6.15. Cheaper 
still are ordinary frozen prawns at 
£4.05 for 31b. Hang on. there are 
bags of oyster meat at an unbeliev¬ 
able £4.35 for 5G0g (1.4ib) and 2kg 
of Australian scallops for £ 17.90. 

It is hand not to get carried away 
at Wing Yip. Britain's best known 
Chinese cash-and-carry, now busily 
gearing up for the Chinese New 
Year next weekend. Situated in 
Nechells. on the outskirts of 
Birmingham, it occupies a three 
and a half acre site and serves 90 
per cent of the Chinese restaurants 
and take-aways in the area. 

Wheel your trolley down its aisles 
and you can choose from a 
bewildering 2.500 lines, from 
beansprouts to bamboo steamers 
and brilliantly cheap woks (from 
E3.95). Bui it is not just bargains 
that the customers go for but the 
opportunity to buy obscure ingredi¬ 
ents. from hard-to-find fresh dim 
sum and won ton wrappers ro hard- 
to-digest fried conger pike maw 
(which looks like a giant prawn 
cracker) and 1.000-year-old duck 
eggs (black and jelly-like), which 
are. in fact, two months old. 

There are jars of pickled lettuce 
and Coconut Sport Strings (a 
Malaysian dessert topping for ice¬ 
cream. custards or pies), tins of Bo 
Bo Cha Cha (another dessert this 
rime from Singapore) and black 
fungus soup, packets of flavoured 
tea eggs and green pea snacks. 

Alongside are familiar British 
household names, curiously out of 
place. Marigold gloves. Heinz tom¬ 
ato ketchup. After Eight mints, 
large packets of frozen chips just a 
couple of compartments down 
from the bulk bags of frozen 
chicken and ducks' feet. 

Many of the products are health 


‘We have a 
saying that all 
problems come 
from the mouth’ 



Choice: one of the 2.500 lines 

oriented. There is a whole cabinet 
of ginseng products and a large 
selection of Japanese health drinks 
fortified with vitamin C. 
Rheumatics can seek relief with 
tincture of tiger bone, while the rest 
of us would probably benefit from 
double swallow essence of chicken 
with swallows nest, “efficacious to 
the lungs, sperms and for general 
weakness, strain, excessive work 
and tiredness”. 

“In China you are what you eat,” 
says Wing Yip. “We have a saying 
that all problems come from the 
mouth. What comes out of it — that 
is what you say — and what you put 
into it — what you eat If you're 
careful what you say and choose 
what you eat you’re free from 
trouble and free from illness." 


Mr Yip came to Britain from his 
native Hong Kong in the late 
1950s and started work as a waiter 
in Clacton. Essex. Within a few 
months he had persuaded the chef 
to leave with him and set up their 
own restaurant in a first-floor 
cafeteria over Timothy Whites. 

“It was the right idea in the right 
place at the right time," he says. 
“During the high season, there 
were 8,000 people a week visiting 
the local Butlins holiday camp and 
nowhere to go in the evening. Most 
hotels were residents only' and took 
their last orders at nine o'clock." 

Within two years M r Yip and his 
partners had three restaurants and 
a take-away. Within ten years, he 
had decided there was a better 
business in supplying restaurants 
than running them, and he opened 
his first supplier's shop in 
Birmingham. Twenty years on he 
has three major cash-and-carries 
(in Birmingham. London and 
Manchester), a turnover of about 
£45 million a year and a 250- 
strong workforce. 

The Nechells store, the latest and 
largest, opened a year ago. It is the 
ultimate one-stop shopping experi¬ 
ence with an on-site Chinese doc¬ 
tor. demist lawyer, immigration 
adviser, travel agent and architect 
working from purpose-built units. 

There is even an authentic Chi¬ 
nese restaurant on site, serving 
more than 150 dishes, including 
crispy fried pork intestine and duck 
tongues in black bean sauce. 

At 55. Mr Yip shows no sign of 
flagging. A self-oonfessed worka¬ 
holic. he has been known to spend 
Sundays gathering up nolleys in 
the car park, according to his 
secretary. Barbara. 

He whizzes round the aisles, 
greeting unknown customers like 
long-lost friends. "Hello. You like 
wine?" he says cheerily to a couple 
with a pair of bottles in their trolley. 
“Do you cook ChineseT he asks 
another. “Yes, we’re just beginning 










m 


Bargain spotting: shoppers scour the aisles for hard-to-find ingredients for Chinese meals 


to." "Good, good." says Mr Yip. 

Suddenly he vanishes, re-emerg¬ 
ing with a handful of packet sauces. 
“Look," he says proudly, pointing 
to a sachet of exotic Thai-style tom 
ka paste, “just 30p. That’s/on/flsric 
value. I don’t know if they put the 
price right." 

Sauces, it appears, are one of 
Wing Yip's best selling lines. "In 
China, the important thing is not 
what you eat but the sauce you put 
it in,” says Mr Yip. “In the old days 
the last course at a banquet very 
often used to be a coin in sauce. 
You’d pick it up with your chop¬ 
sticks and suck the sauce off. If the 
sauce was good you’d leave the coin 
on the table. If it was bad. you 
pocketed the coin. So you see. sauce 
is very important"

The chemical formula 


for a fruity nose 


W ine tastes of fruit, the 
whole fruit and. very 
often, nothing but 
the fruit. Occasionally, readers 
e rumble that my fruity tasting 
notes are far-fetched. But the 
truth is that wine tastes like 
bananas or raspberries, or 
both, precisely because the 
same chemical compounds 
have been found in fruit and 
wine. Even masterly Hugh 
Johnson, not known for his 
purple prose, acknowledges 
that "this deliberate approach 
to description by analysis can 
be extremely effective and 
surprisingly accurate". 

For years, oenologisis have 
known about this correlation 
between wine and fruit. But it 
was not until the arrival of the 
gas chromatograph and mass 
spectrometer, capable of sepa¬ 
rating out and identifying the 
myriad smells of wine, dun the 
relationship between wine and 
fruit bowl could be proved. 
Alcohols, aldehydes and esters 
are the three chief smell com¬ 
ponents of wine and. typically, 
it is the Americans who have 
got furthest down the road to 
finding out which of these 
volatile compounds belongs to 
what fruit Encouragingly, no 
machine has yet got dose to 
the impressive capabilities of 
the trained human nose, able 
correctly to identify, blind, 
hundreds of grapes and wines 
that are undetectable by scien¬ 
tific equipment 
Romantics will not want to 
know that the reason why 
beaujolais smells of bananas is 
partly because of the presence 
of amvi acetate in the gamay 
grape. Or that young white 
burgundy and other char- 
don nays often reek of pineap¬ 
ple because of ethyl capiyfate, 
among other substances.

explains the 
esoteric science 
behind the 
bouquet of wine 

rure gets more complicated 
still with the realisation that 
one scent is the result of a 
complicated combination of 
compounds, for example, 
meihoxy-isobuiyl pyrazine. 
isobutyl pyrazine, in particu¬ 
lar. is responsible for the 
green-pepper-like odour often 
Found in new' world cabernets 
from California and Australia. 
Occasionally, wine science illu¬ 
minates ainpelography, the 
study of the vine and grape 
varieties, in a way that wine 
tasters do not always realise for 
themselves. It was not until an 
Australian wine maker ex¬ 
plained that the muscat, nes¬ 
ting and gewurzi rami ner 
grapes all contained some of 
the same chemical com¬ 
pounds. namely terpineol, fin¬ 
al ool and geraniol. although 
in varying proportions, that I 
fully realised the taste connec¬ 
tions between the three. 

One of America’s most use¬ 
ful gifts to the wine-tasting 
world is the wine aroma 
wheel, developed by the Univ¬ 
ersity of California at Davis. 
Here the “fruity" division of 
the wheel is divided into five 
main sections: dents (grape¬ 
fruit. lemon and orange), ber¬ 
ry (blackberry, raspberry, 
strawberry and blackcurrant), 
nee fruit (cherry, apricot, 
peach, pear, applet tropical 
fruit (pineapple, melon, ba¬ 
nana) and finally dried fruit 


(strawberry jam, raisin, prune 
and fig). Each fruit included in 
the wheel only won its place 
after much academic tasting 
and testing. What is good 
enough for the University of 
California, it seems to me. is 
good enough for the rest of us. 

Initially, what might con¬ 
fuse wine drinkers who have 
visited wine regions and tasted 
the grapes on the vine there is 
how rarely they seem to taste of 
the end product. Above all 
other factors, such as soil, 
climate and man’s input, the 
choice of grape determines the 
final taste of the wine in the 
bottle. But often the variety's 
taste is locked away in the skin 
of the grape, waiting to be fully 
released during fermentation 
and only barely discernible to 
the novice taster. The only 
grapes that reek of the bottled 
wine straight from the vine are 
those belonging to the muscat 
family. Bite into a ripe muscat 
grape and die sweet, musky, 
perfumed, exhilarating fla¬ 
vour of a good muscat wine 
are instantly recognisble. 
These are known as primary 
fruit aromas, and it is true that 
the taste of the grapes them-

selves is usually enhanced by 
the addition of secondary, or 
fermentation, aromas. Even 
the most neutral of white wine 
grapes, such as foe ugni blanc 
and colombard, acquire some 
very pleasant banana, pear- 
drop and other scents after 
cold fermentation, partly 
because of isoamyl acetate. 


Fruitiest buys 


So which, apart from those 
made with the muscat grape, 
are the fruitiest wines of all? 
Beaujolais made from the 
cherry scented gamay grape 
(that is benzaldehyde cyanohy¬ 
drin. by the way) is a good 
contender as it also reeks of 
raspberries and bananas. My 
vote for the most obviously

again, top examples, whether

it snappy 

Frances Bissell presents tempting ways 
with a variety of fish for cooks in a hurry 












FISH is one ofthe 
bestpraabte ingred¬ 
ients for the cook in 
a hurry. Unlike 
meat, it is already 
tender arid needs 
cooking only to the 
point of making it 
palatable and. Kke an egg. to set the 
protein. I am suspicious of instruc¬ 
tions which suggest that, when 
cooked, fish should flake easily 
from the bone. To me. that is 
almost overcooked Certainly the 
flesh should have lost most of its 
tranducence, but it should still be 
juicy and mdse particularly near 
the bone. 

Realty frfoh fife can be exquisite 
raw, as in Japanese sushi and 
sashim i and the current favourites, 
tartares and carpacdos of fish such 
as salmon and tuna. I discovered 

can^ also be eaten niw^^have 
marinated sardine fiDets in coconut 
milk and lime juke; chopped fresh, 

clrinnwt marlfprpl fiflefce and mhfpd 

them with sliced spring onions, soy 
sauce and toasted sesame oil; and 
cured mackerel in the same way 
that I make gravad lax. 

The price of sole, bass, tuibot, red 
mullet and John Doiy puts these 
fish into tire luxury food class, but 
herring and mackerel cost about 
£1 alb, squid and buss a tide more. 
Coley is not expensive and very 
versatile. Cod and. particularly, 
haddock are in danger of being 
over-fished, in relatively short sup¬ 
ply and no longer inexpensive. 

When I want to cook fish, which 
I usually, do two or three times a 
week, I try not to have any fixed 
menu in mind. Instead. I let my 
fishmonger tell me what is fieri) 
that day. Recently, I have cooked 
milky white, fresh huss, squid and 
mackerel The huss I have cooked 
in a Thai-style curry, but my 
favourite way to cook it is as they do 
it in the bars in Cadiz. The fish is 
cut across into small, two-bite sire 
steaks, dipped in sherry vinegar, 
tossed in seasoned flour and men 
fried m otive oil. 

Today's mackerel recipe has 
unusual origins, based on a dish of 
grilled sardine fillets on couscous. 


which I was served at the elegant 
Pierrot restaurant in the Mandarin 
Oriental hotel in Hong Kong. 
Alongside the sophisticated caviare 
and tuna tartare, it was a simple 
dish made from inexpensive 
ingre dients ; lull of flavour, odour 
and texture. 

The fish and potato pie has long 
been one of my favourites. I like to 
use a mixture of white fish, such as 
coley or conger ed. and a Htfle 
undyed smoked haddock. 

To drink with these and other 
fish dishes. I have several 
favourites. These indude the fra¬ 
grant and fruity Albarino, which 
conies from Gafida in northwest 
Spain, Sauvignon Blanc (which I 
particularly like with smoked-fish 
dishes) from Canterbury on New 
Zealand’s South Island, and tire 
soft, flowery whites of Gaiflac in 
southwestern France.

Success on a Suffolk slab 


From marine 
biologist to 
fishmonger, 
Stephen Appleby 
is a happy mail 


BRYN COLTON 


C onsider this proposi¬ 
tion. Ifyou were going 
to open an upmarket 
fishmonger’s, selling oysters, 
lobsters and parrot fish, fit tire 
middle of a recession, would 
you site it in a small Suffolk’ 
village? WdL Stephen Apple- 
fay has done it and he is 
makmgammL 
Mr Appleby.-who favours 
the wooUyjumpered Richard 
Branson style of management 
has two shops — one in Eye 
and fee other in Fram- 
linghath—^which trade under 
the name Brown & May (“ra 
opened in May, and Brown 
just sounded right”). He also ’ 
has a £1.5 mSfion wholesale 
business. '• 

The Eye shop is minute but 
irresistible. In mewindcrwtbp- 
quality sole, turbot and brill fie 
among gaudy pink and tur¬ 
quoise parrot fish and rosy red 
bream. Around them are art¬ 
fully arranged wicker baskets 
of fresh dams, shimmering 
silver trout herrings and 
sprats and tiny bright pink 
shrimps. 

The Framlinghara shop, 
which is slightty larger, also 
carries a range of superior 
frozen fish, from halibut and 
swordfish to shack — not in 
short the kind of fish you 
would expect most customers 
regularly to indude in their 
wedety shopping. 

The fact feat they do is a 
tribute to Mr Appleby’s chutz¬ 
pah. Where other fishmongers 
are foiling by the wayside, 
complaining of unfair compe¬ 
tition from supermarket wet- 
fish counters, draconian new 
hygiene roles and customers 
who can no longer be both¬ 
ered with firiu he is looking to' 
expand his business. 

Supermarkets? Pah. they 
can’t do fresh fish. Hygiene 
regulations? No problem if 
you keep, one jump ahead. 
Public distaste for fishbones? 
“Nonsense. People like bones 
because they can make stock 
with them.*' 

Mr Appldy. who bom 
uid bred in Suffolk, developed 




On display. Stephen Appleby goes to Harrods for inspiration for his shop-window 


his enthusiasm for tire sea at 
an early age- After studying 
marine biology at the Univer¬ 
sity erf Stilting, he went to work 
for merchant bank Arbutimot 
Latham, which felicitously dis¬ 
patched him to the Caribbean 
to conduct a feasibility study 
on the development of _ a 
fishing industry in fee Domin¬ 
ican Republic or. as Mr 
Appleby puls it “to try out 
various bits of fishing gear. 

After other assorted excur¬ 
sions. including a spell study¬ 
ing herring spawning patterns 
off Ireland, he decided to set 
up his own whofesale.business, 
supplying salmon to fee cater¬ 
ing trade; “We soon found if 
we were running round deliv¬ 
ering salmon it made sense to 
supply them wife everything 
else as wen ” he says. 

The enterprise has rapidly 
expanded to cover some 380 
'hotels and restaurants across 
East Anglia. 

The retail side developed 
four years ago becau se Mr 
Appleby’s wife. Salty, was frits-

in fee village. “She said why

There wasn't any deep market 
analysis behind iL To be 
honesL it didn't cost a fortune.. 
The day we opened coincided 
wife the W1 market, and we 
had queues out of the door. 

“The fish business doesn't

and regimented systems. You

which are only at sea for one 
night ^Very often the fish is still 
in rigor mortis. I’ve picked up 
(lover soles at the market still

The other keys to Mr 
Appleby's success, he believes, 
are high standards of hygiene 
and firet-dass displays. “I take 
fee staff up to Harrods and 
Sdfiridges from time to time to 
look at the displays. We're 
always on tire lookout for new 
ideas. We're a traditional fife-

AT YOUR SERVICE 


Pealing over the straits: the parish church of St Mary and St Nicholas on Anglesey, north Wales 

An Anglican heart 
beating in Wales 

Ruth Gledhill visits the Welsh island of Anglesey to find that 


the Church of England is in robust and energetic form 


E ” n AS I sat on what 
ig/l appeared to be a 
stone bench in the 
. porch at St Mary 
r'?' / and St Nicholas. 
/_ Beaumaris, on An- 
T&H glesey. taking in the 
heady mix of sun. 
sea and the sacrament, a lilting 
Welsh voice behind me warned: 
“M ind she doesn’t bite." On closer 
inspection, my resting place turned 
out to be an ancient sarcophagus,, 
which had once contained the 
remains of Joan, daughter of King 
John and consort of Llewelyn ap 
Joiwerth. prince of North Wales, 
who died in 1237. The inscription, 
recorded in Latin. Welsh and 
English, admonished me thus: that 
the' stone coffin, “having been 
conveyed from the friary of 
Llan/aes and. alas, used for many 
years as a horse-watering trough, 
was rescued from such indignity 
and placed here for preservation as 
well as to exact serious meditations 
on the transitory nature of all 
sublunary distinctions'’. 

I had driven through wild Wales, 
and across the achingly beautiful 
suspension bridge over the Menai 
Starts to the island of Anglesey, to 
hear in the old tortgue.yr hen iaith, 
about the devil and God..v diafol a 
Dun\ The first surprise’in Beau¬ 
maris was the lack of rain. The 
second was my ability to follow the 
service, even though half was in a 
language I did not understand. We 
used The Book of Common Prayer 
for use in The Church in Wales , 
which those who are currently 
revising the liturgy of the Church of 


England would do well to examine. 

Sensibly, the communion service 
begins on page one. saving me the 
usual five minutes trying to find my 
place after another minute trying to 
find the index. The liturgy is 
modem but retains enough or the 
old-style Anglican prayer book to 
keep most traditionalists content 
The service is primed with Welsh 
and English side by side. After a 
bright “good morning” in Welsh 
and English, we sang “Hark the 
Herald Angels Sing" in Welsh 
from the Bangor diocesan hymn 
book. Emynau'rUan, and said the 
creed and the Lord’s Prayer in 
English. The Eucharistic prayer 
was in Welsh and the inter- 
cessionary prayers were in a combi¬ 
nation of the two languages. The 
sermon, to my relief, was in 
English. 


A lthough the church in 
Wales is Anglican, visitors 
would be advised never to 
refer to it as the Church of 
England in Wales as this will 
seriously offend Welsh Anglicans. 
Equally offensive to all other 
Welshmen, who might be chapel, 
Roman Catholic or have no reli¬ 
gious allegiance at all. is to call it 
the Church of Wales. 

The parish is one of about 600 
incumbencies in Wales, which is 
itself one of 28 provinces or self- 
governing churches in the world¬ 
wide Anglican communion. The 
church in Wales was created in 
1920 after disestablishment and 
partial disendowment by the Welsh 
Church Acs of 1914 and 1920. 


There are more than 108.000 
Easter communicants, our of a 
population of about 2.86 million. 
Many Welsh Anglicans, and re¬ 
tired Englishmen living in Wales, 
argue that disestablishment has 
given the church in Wales a life and 
spiritual vigour sometimes lacking 
in its sister church in England. 

Apart from the language difficul¬ 
ty (although fewer than one third of 
die congregation are Welsh-speak¬ 
ing). and the glimmer of monkish 
Celtic humour which occasionally 
sparkled through the rector's high 
and dry exterior, 1 found little 
difference between this church and 
thousands like it in the English 
countryside. The eight bells, six of 
which were donated by the last 
Viscount Bulkeley. rang out 
through the crisp, dear air over the 
straits towards the mainland, call¬ 
ing the faithful to worship. 

The rector. Gwyndaf Morris 
Hughes, a tali, rosydieeked figure 
straight out of a Tolkien novel, 
wore a chasuble over a white 
cassock alb. indicating his tradi¬ 
tionalist approach. He did not 
enter the pulpit to preach but strode 
around at the head of the aisle, 
catching and holding eye contact 
on this Sunday after Christmas 
with any who might be too 
hungover or replete to hear proper¬ 
ly his sermon on the feast of St John 
the Evangelist 

Just in case anyone was thanking 
God that Christmas was over for 
another year, he began: "We re¬ 
mind ourselves that Christmas 
starts here on Christmas eve. not 
about two months beforehand."

Mr Hughes has a reputation locally 
as a powerful preacher, and he did 
not disappoint As with news 
stories, sermons are nearly always 
best if brief and to the point and 
this was no exception. 

He noted the conflicting images 
on television screens over Christ¬ 
mas, with news about starvation in 
Somalia slotted next to consumer 
success stories, such as increased 
car sales. “What we have this time is 
a tremendous emphasis on the 
homeless, the heart-rugging stories 
that get people into the mood for 
Christmas. And then we forget it" 

Even the story of Christ in the 
manger had beat turned into 
"sentimental smush”. Mr Hughes 
said: "If there is a devil. 1 am sure 
he is laughing his head off because 
he has managed to mate us 
degrade this greatest reality in the 
history of the world." 

The church, near the mins of one 
of King Edward I of England's 14 
great castles in or on the borders of 


north Wales, dates from the-eariy 
14th century. Thousands of holi¬ 
day-makers pass through each 
summer, but in the December mid¬ 
winter there were few visiters. 

In this idyllic setting, it was a 
passing temptation to forget mo¬ 
mentarily the troubles of the wider 
world. The leaflets at the back, 
offering advice to parents of drug 
abusers, and suggestions hum 
Christian Aid on how to save the 
earth, set near a box for contribu¬ 
tions to cancer research, were a 
chastening reminder that, however 
beautiful and remote, this church 
operates in a society which is by no 
means immune from tire kind of 
problems too often associated only 
with inner cities.

Sue Crewe knows what a mad, sometimes funny, always sad performance divorce is 


No divorce from memories 


R 


ecentiy, I was a pas* 
senger in a friend’s 
car when she 
.stopped for a knot of 
people at a pedestrian cross¬ 
ing. My friend recognised one 
of the men walking past us. 
Tooting figfatiy on the horn, 
she waved at him. The roan 
paused, looked into the car 
without a flicker of recogni¬ 
tion. smiled vaguely at ns both 
and walked on. “Who was 
that?" I asked. “My first 
husband,” die replied. 

We held each ot£tei*s eyes tor 
a second or two and drove on 
in silence.'T too had been 
divorced, and the ti^inrident 
did not need exploring. Those 
of us (and wife one marriage 
in three faffing, that is a lot of 
u$ who have erstwhile hus¬ 
bands and wives know what a 
mad, sometimes fuamy. always 
sad. performance divorce is. 

This was not a view 1 
subscribed to when 1 was a 
schoolgirl At the age of 12 or 
13. while my peers were 
mostly dreaming of handsome 
husbands ana choosing 
names for the first-beau my 
ambition was to get divorced. 
To have beat maned seemed 
to me to be fee epitome of 
glamour, more sophisticated 
even than a 20-a-day 
Rothmans habit or putty-col¬ 
oured lipstick. 




N 


Kari Knight 


ot that 1 bad any 
first-hand experi¬ 
ence of broken 
marriages. My im¬ 
mediate family was happily 
cemented, and at home di¬ 
vorce was regarded as a mis¬ 
fortune and so m ething of a 
blot I was educated at an aB- 
giri Anglican convent and I do 
not remember the nuns hold¬ 
ing radical views on marriage. 
Ptssibly marginally more rad¬ 
ical than those of the Roman 
Catholic nuns who lectured 
my elder sister at her Parisian 
finishing school. 

She was taught that all 
husbands are endemically un¬ 
faithful bm a dever wife would 
never refer to his affairs. She 
should run a beautiful home, 
always look her best chatter 
brighfiy about current affairs 
and never complain about 
domestic disasters. It may 
have been bearing this Gallic 
recipe for marital harmony 
that made divorce appear so 
desirable. 

'• You might think that a more 
obvious, solution would be to 
avoid marriage altogether, but 
30 years ago that was not an 
attractive option. Even now. to 
be unmarried altogether is not 
particularly comfortable. Sin¬ 
gle people erf a certain age are 
plagued by enquiries as to why 
they have never married and 












m 


are still marie to feel that their 
status is aberrant Whereas it is 
often more honourable to 
remain single than to partici- 
pate in a bad or compromised 
marriage, it is nonetheless a 
reality that society usually 
grants a divorced woman 
more status than a spinster, 
and questions fee sexual orien¬ 
tation of a bachelor. 

I do not disown my adoles¬ 
cent sdfi and in the event I 
embarked upon marriage 
with every intention of staying 
married, but if 1 could cross 
three decades and speak to the 
giri who was dazzled by di¬ 
vorce. I would take her hand 
and teU her something of what 
irwas really like, and hope that 
she would grow up to be a little 
more drcumspea. 

Leaving aside the big issues, 
such as what effect fractured 
homes have on the children 
and the financial justice or 
otherwise of post matrimonial 
carve-ups. I would tell her 


about tire little battles, the little 
lonelinesses, the hazards and 
humiliations feat strew the 
path of the once-married. Di¬ 
vorce is not glamorous or 
dashing or smart and it is not 


people it is an arid freedom in 
which one set of problems has 
been substituted for another. 

Unlike fee celebration of 
your marriage, you do not 
even have to attend your own 


To have been married seemed 
the epitome of glamour, 
more sophisticated even than 
putty-coloured lipstick 


a rite of passage from which 
you emerge absolved arid un¬ 
fettered. Divorce impoverish¬ 
es, diminishes, demeans and 

leaves you weighted with expe¬ 
rience that discourages rather 
than encourages you- Sure 
enough, you emerge freed 
from a situation feat, for 
whatever reason, has become 
untenable, but for many

divorce: it can be granted in 
your absence, imposed on you 
like a parking fine. Even the 
petitioner attending the hear¬ 
ing needs only his or her. 
lawyer as bridesmaid, and fee 
decree absolute comes 
through the post six weeks 
later. Convention dictates that 
in most cases the petitioner, 
the person who initiates the 
proceedings, is the woman, 
and women are usually more 
aware than men of the ritual — 
or in the case of divorce, the 
lack of it — attached to 
important occasions. 

We do not say: “111 have a 
traditional divorce with an fee 
trimmings", but we do try to 


imbue the occasion with as 
much significance as we can 
muster. This can take perverse 
forms. 1 know a rich woman 
who travelled back from fee 
Royal Courts of Justice in fee 
Strand on fee number 11 bus. 
Sitting on fee front seat of fee 
upper deck reinforced her 
feeling of liberation. Another 
woman got divorced from two 
different husbands from the 
same courts, and each time 
bought dropdead chic outfits 
to wear for the hearing and 
then went for lunch at the Ritz. 

Fiona Shackleton. well- 
known divorce lawyer and 
partner in the Queen’s firm of 
solicitors, Faner & Co, is the 
co-author of The Divorce 
Handbook. She says that her 
clients are often paranoid 
about what to wear in court 
“For most people, it is their 
first appearance before a judge 
and they want to create a good 
impression 

Her co-author, Olivia 
Timbs. is a magazine editor 
and believes we would benefit 
from a more structured ap¬ 
proach to fee dissolution of 
our marriages, although she 
emphasises feat people come 
to terms with their separation 
at different rates and it is 
inadvisable to uy to mark the 


occasion of fee divorce as 
couple. Her own parents ga\ 
her a divorce lunch-party 
thank friends who had beej 
stalwart Much to hersurprisf 
it was both enjoyable 
helpfuL 

However. I am sure 
guests were not given horribj 
tittle cakes decorated wit 
black icing sugar and 
words “Happy Divorcel 
which one outraged hust 
received from his newly exe 
wife. But then a few mom 
previously he had stumi 
round fee mammonlai hor 
with a tape-recorder, dictatir 
into it who was to have what ■ 
“my alabaster vases, her i 
tty cushions, my CD play 
her shell ashtray../ 
perhaps he was lucky not to gj 
a divorce-cake heavily lac 
with cyanide. 

There is no such thing as j 
painless divorce and no mear 
of removing a former spot 
from the heart’s cuttings-]] 
braiy. Or is there? Did tf 
man on fee crossing really nt 
recognise his former wife, 
did he use the opportunity 
deny hei? We will never knovj 
but anyone who has bee] 
through fee murky shadows < 
divorce will know that aime 
anything is possible.

Wages vary tremendously 
but fee most recent survey, 
conducted last year, showed 
that news deliverers earn an 
average of £2.64 an hour, with 
Sunday rounds often paying 
almost twice feat amount 

Julie Green, 16, from 
Eastvffie, Bristol earns £18 a 
week for delivering one morn¬

ax days a week. She gets up at 
6.30am and works again be¬

employees to be personable, to 
possess communication skills, 
and to show an interest in 
retailing and customer aware¬ 
ness. “If they are just coming 
here because it is a novelty ana 
they think they are going to be

SATURDAY JANUARY l ft I 

_ GARDENING - 

Francesca Greenoak turns her back on winter and indulges her passion for conservatory exp erimentation 

- ° -- 1 -- Vh 


E ven in ihe worst of Janu¬ 
ary weather, this first 
month of the year makes 
me want to grow things, 
nd I turn to gardening indoors, 
hree years' conservatory experi- 
ventarion, and many more of 
indow-sill gardening, have con- 
rmed in me a taste for exotics, and 
n intrepidity i do not indulge 
utside in the garden. 

Last spring, I was given a rooted 
jtting of Sparmannia africana 
■hich has grown pro- 
igiously in the briglu V 

ght of my conserva- 
ny. Now over a metre 
igh. it has huge, 
owny bright green // i 

■aves, like an outsize 3 

me-tree foliage (one of Jk , 4 

s names is indoor 
nden). Its white, al- 
lond-scented Sowers SBR 

avc a thick tuft of 
-imson and gold sta- 
tens, sensitive to 
such: brushed lightly A 

ley open gracefully. m 

Another rewarding A 

ift was a seedling jaea- 
mda tree, which has 
[so grown well. In a 

imi-tropical dimare, it - 

roduces fragrant TheC 

}ring blossoms, but it bell f 

irely blooms in Brit- Lapager. 

in. ‘ though its lacy 
:m-like foliage is so pretty li hardly 
rems to matter. Two of my 
ivourite scented foliage plants 
eep their leaves in the winter in a 
wl conservatory. Lemon verbena 
Uovsia trip hylic, still widely sold 
nder its original name of Lippia 
: triodora\ has a sweet, sherber- 
•mon scent the silveiy leaved 
alvia discolor, which has small, 
{most black flowers, emits a strong 
rent of blackcurrant when the 
■aves are rubbed. 

The sweet scented mimosa or 
her wattle, now coming into 
ower [Acacia dealbeua ), makes a 
urge tree in a conservatory border, 
runed back, it will flower at shrub

pamper 


The Chilean 
bellflower 
Lapageria Rosea 


she in a tub or large pot Prickly 
Moses (Acacia veniallata) has 
pretty, palest yellow bottle-brush 
flowers, and the unusual knife 
acacia (A. cultriformitf makes a 
small, easily managed shrub with 
triangular, flat, grey-blue leaf-like 
stalks, as well as globular yellow 
spring-season flowers. 

I have observed with relief that 
most plants are much more tolerant 
of heat and cold than reference 
books indicate. Putting them out¬ 
doors, or standing 
"^^"1 them in trays of damp 

^ gravel, provides hu¬ 

midity and relief from 
the sun in summer, 
and a night storage 
heater and thermostati¬ 
cally controlled fan- 
heater seem to give 
adequate comfort dur¬ 
ing the winter, al¬ 
though temperatures 
can fall to freezing 
point or just below. 

Some plants, includ¬ 
ing sparmannia and 
acacias, indicate that 
they are suffering from 
crverwaoring. or tem¬ 
peratures which are 
rather too cold, by & 

ijflean yellowing of their 

ower leaves. In general, the 

d Rosea rule is to water very 

sparingly in the winter 
and to feed during the main period 
of growth, which is generally 
during the wanner months 
If you have a certain amount of 
heat in a conservatory, or porch, it 
is quite sensible to buy small plants 
now while prices are reasonable: 
they will put on good growth 
through the spring, and flower all 
the better later in the year. 

It can be difficult to find the more 
unusual plants or id secure well- 
grown specimens of commoner 
ones when you are starting off a 
collection. Stuart Keith scoured 
garden centres and nurseries to 
stock his own oonservatoiy, then 
used his knowledge to set up a 



Fill your conservatory with citrus scent Stuart Keith shows off a “Washington” navel orange tree in the specialist showroom he set up after his own search for plants 


conservatory plant showroom in- 
Win Chester. 

He stocks an interesting range, 
from small Camera lamana 
(£2.50). with their orange-carmine 
flowers, to large specimen lemon 
trees at £120. The bird of paradise 
plant Strelizia reginae, for all its 
exodc purple and orange glamour, 
is not a difficult plant, and recom¬ 
mended by Mr Keith for its long 
flowering season. Also in flower 
now arethe beautiful Chilean bell 
flower, and an evergreen Austra¬ 
lian climbing plant [Harden bergia 
comptoniana j. known as the blue 
coral pea. which is not difficult to 
grow. Some of the rarer passion 


flowers also thrive in conserva¬ 
tories: the pink banana passion 
flower {Passiflom moilissima) is in 
flower in the Winchester show¬ 
room. Mr Keith also recommends 
the hybrid Incense. It has pretty, 
evergreen foliage but its flowers, as 
with all of the genus, though 
beautiful are short-lived — "but 
such is passion.** as a customer said 
philosophically.

SATURDX JA| 




_Sara Dri ver 

spends a relaxing 
weekend that is 
anything but flat 


7 ety flat, Norfolk." With 
these few words Noel 
Coward dismissed the 
entire ooun?>. Perhaps he nev¬ 
er visited the sheltered, wooded 
countryside just west of 
Down ham Market. Accessible 
from London via the A10. this 
comer of Norfolk is an oasis of 
gently undidating hills and 
valleys. Tne huge skies and 
unbroken horizons of Cam¬ 
bridgeshire, dominated for 
miles by the rectangular sil¬ 
houette of Ely Cathedral, give 
way to a softer landscape. 

The market town of 
Swaffham, so fashionable in 
the 18th century that i; was 
known as the “Montpellier of 
England", lies between King's 
Lynn and Norwich, within 
easy reach of the north Norfolk 
coast. 

Hidden in quiet, secluded 
grounds, tucked away behind 
the market square in Swaff¬ 
ham lies Strattons, the Which? 
Hotel Guide's Norfolk county 
hotel of the year Tor die past 
two years. A graceful 18th- 
century red-brick Pailadian 
house, formeriy known as "die 
Villa". Strattons was built in 
the 1720s as a second home, a 
town-dweller's rural retreat. 
Andrea Palladio once decreed 
that a villa should be “a place 
where the mind, fatigued by 
the agitaiions of the city, will be 
greatly restored and comfort¬ 
ed”. According to our experi¬ 
ence. this principle still holds 
true. A weekend ar the hotel 
lowered stress levels and in¬ 
duced th3t rare sense of well¬ 
being that comes from being 
cosseted. 

We walked through the 
curved Queen Anne doorway 
to be greeted like welcome 
friends. Ushered into the rich 
peacock-blue Venetian Room, 
once the bedchamber of the 
redoubtable Mis Stratton, we 
found a vast walnut bed 
covered with soft cushions. A 

E jenerous array of bath oils, 
avender talcum powder, 
shampoos and soaps was 
seanered around the ruby-red 
bathroom. 

Our companions chose the 
Louis Room, once the nanny’s

sharing their view of the rose 
trellis with Oscar, a guinea 
fowl, who rarely moves from 
the window ledge. 

The house overflows with a 
potpourri of dried flowers, 
framed family photographs, 
antiques, china ornaments, 
china cats, cat cushions and 
books. There are books every¬ 


where. piled high beside beds, 
jotfling for space on tables and 
window ledges. 

The overall atmosphere is 
more akin to a small, stylish 
country house than a hotel. 
The hosts. Les and Vanessa 
Scott, who have two young 
children, welcome families and 
keep a large cupboard full of 
games and toys for all ages. 

Mr and Mrs Scott met at 


Great Yarmouth Art College 
and soon after embarked on 
the first of a series of renova¬ 
tion projects that culminated 
in Strattons. They bought a 
small cottage in Norfolk in 
such a state of disrepair that 
there were fertiliser sacks in 
place of windows. With no 
practical experience, they re¬ 
stored, plastered and painted 
the cottage, sold it, and bought 


an old pub. They read every¬ 
thing they could and learnt the 
hard way. 

Several years and two child¬ 
ren later, the Sootts bought 
and renovated a Victorian 
school An endless succession 
of weekend guests led Mis 
Scott’s father to remark with 
some irony that they would do 
better to run a hotel. One cold, 
damp winter’s day on a desert¬ 


ed beach on the north Norfolk 
coast, they decided to turn 
their lives upside down and 
become hotdiers-.Then proper¬ 
ty prices suddenly stamped. 

They found Strattons, were 
captivated by its charm, but 
realised that they were unlikely 
to be able to sell their school- 
house. Unwilling to admit de¬ 
feat, Mrs Scott persuaded the 
owner to do a house swap, and 



Creature comforts: the bedrooms are lavishly furnished 


at the end erf 1990. Strattons 
opened its dooxs to guests.^ - 
One of, Mts Scott’s first 
decisions was that she would 
cook the food herself, using 
only-focal produce and ptue 
ingredients. The Scotts have 
planted their own formal herb- 
garden and irnidtr of the re¬ 
maining fresh produce comes 
from her father's garden. The 
Norfolk mushrooms-are from 
the estate of Sir Samuel Rob¬ 
erts. the jams and marmalade 
home-made, and tfi c brea d is, 
brought in warm from the 
bakery next door- .. 

Mr and Mis Scott randy 
accept more than a. dozen 
people fix* dinner,'as every 
course is prepared on the day 
and many of the (fishes are 
cooked to order. The only food 
fhaf comes out of the freezer is 
the ice-cream; The menu is 
resohitdy English and tradi¬ 
tional in the best sense of the 
word. It changes daily, and 
three courses without coffee 
cost just £17.95. . - ■ : 1 - 

We had the most delicious, 
wanning Norfolk nut brown 
mushroom suid chestnut soup 
spiced with -nutmeg. A com¬ 
mitted vegetarian inour party 
was catered for. without fuss 
and served freshlyiifoked 
green peppers stuffed with rice, 
mushrooms . and vegetables. 
There was a creamy fish 
terrine. aiid desserts included a 
rffh marmalade icecream and 
a plate of fresh fruit, witha 
scoop of surprisingly refresh¬ 
ing garden' mint ice-cream. 

In between meals, and tak¬

autumnal afternoon, we visited

A merican women 
found a role model in 
Jane Fonda, 55 years 
old and not averse to 
a few sessions with the surgeon 
in addition to her daily exercise 
routine, in her efforts to pre¬ 
serve her youth. 

British women can look in¬ 
stead to Anne Gregg, the 52- 
year-old television presenter 
who is living proof that middle 
age does not mean Crimplene 
cardies and a spreading waist¬ 
line, despite not having your 
own exercise video and a 
millionaire husband. Ms 
Gregg has always lived alone, 
and makes it dear she has to 
work for a living, and does not 
have the time or money for 
expensive skin creams or pro¬ 
tracted exercise regimes. 

Nonetheless, she is acutely 
aware of the importance of her 
looks in what is one of the most 
appearance-consdous profes¬ 
sions of alL Last year, after 11 
years as the main presenter of 
the Holiday programme, she 
was replaced by Anneka Rice, 
nearly 20 years her junior. It 
was classic proof that while 
men in television are respected 
for their experience, women 
are hired for their youth — 
despite the fact that Ms Gregg 
scarcely has a line on her face. 

She bounced bade almost 
immediately with her success¬ 
ful ITV soles Annie across 
America. At the moment she is 
commanding excellent ratings 
every Sunday lunchtime pre¬ 
senting The Package Pilgrims. 
in which she travels with 
assorted preachers to different 
places of pilgrimage. 

Ms Gregg says that even if 
she had never seen a television 
camera she would have cared 
about her appearance. “People 
smile at you more when you 
look good. She resents the 


large proportion of her income 
that has to go on the variety of 
dothes needed for her work. 
“Spending on work dothes 
should be tax deductible, but 
the rule is, if you can wear an 
outfit in non-work situations, it 
doesn't count/* 

She shops everywhere from 
Kays catalogue to Giorgio 
Armani, with her favourite 
things coming somewhere in 
the middle, from Jaeger — 
“they are quite quick to be in 
with fairly trendy dothes. and 
they don’t cost an arm and a 
leg". The most she has ever 
spent was £900 on an evening 
dress from Droopy and 
Brown's: “I came home and I 
almost fainted.” 

The evening dress was an 
exception. Preferred outfits are 
a pair of trousers and a big 
man’s shirt which, she main¬ 
tains. is the sexiest outfit of alL 
At home she relaxes in jeans, a 
sweatshirt and trainers. 


M s Gregg is quick 
to acknowledge 
her best fea¬ 
tures, but mod¬ 
est in taking credit for them. “I 
have very good skin, but it’s 
inherited from my grandmoth¬ 
er, who died at 88. with hardly 
a line. My cheekbones are 
good too. and 1 think you can 
get away with murder with a 
well-shaped face.” 

She is equally aware of what 
she considers her bad points, 
but rather than complain, does 
her best to tackle them. She 
battles with her hair and 
yearns for an extra inch be¬ 
tween her knees and ankles. 
She realises, however, that no 
one is ever satisfied. “Once 
when I was working in an 
office we asked each other what 
our greatest and worst assets 
were. What everyone hated

about themselves, was what the 
rest of us envied. 

“There was one woman with 
enormous boobs who wanted 
them to be smaller, although 
we all thought they were great, 
and another who wanted a 
bigger bottom.” 

Like many of us. she is 
currently on a post-Christmas 
diet to lose half a stone. She 
says she is luefy-to be a 
naturally healthy eater, who 
likes big helpings but genuine¬ 


ly prefers vegetables to sticky 
cakes. Incredibly, she claims to 
follow no exercise routine. “I 
walk along the river. I love 
gardening and I dean my own 
house, and I have very steep 
stairs. Thafs it. Pm afraid.” 
Her new year resolution is to 
go swimming twice a week. 

Ms Gregg reassures envious 
onlookers frat her looks ate not 
effortless. “People should see 
me when I get up in the 
morning. T do have to work

is in the strategy of the

“There are so many op-

String section: Andrew Lyons mends a real tennis racket 


old Tom Gilbey. a fashion 
designer and waistcoat coutu¬ 
rier. “Hitting the ball up on to 
the penthouse roof, for exam¬ 
ple, slows die game down, 
giving you time to think. You 
can also choose not to hit the 
ball, or go for a winner and 
giveyourself another chance hy 
laying a ‘chase’.” 

La^ng a chase is the key to 


real tennis. This does not mean 
tearing around the perimeter 
in some mad Chariots of Fire 
race. (In fact fitness, although 
an asset, is not a pre-requisite; 
many people do not take up the 
game until their forties or 
fifties) The court is asymmetri¬ 
cal and there’s a distinct ad¬ 
vantage in being at die 
“service” end — where the 


serve is always taken — as 
opposed to the “hazard” end. 
Firstly, there are two holes to 
aim at—the “winning gallery” 
and the “grille" — both of 
which give you an outright 
point, whereas the receiver 
only has the “dedans”. Second¬ 
ly, there’s'a nasty bit of wan 
sticking out on the hazard side 
(the “tambour”) and any ball 
coming off that is hard to hit. 
Thus, each player is aiming to 
get at the service end. You do 
this by laying a chase. Once the 
receiver has laid two, the 
players change ends. 

A chase is laid if the ball flies 
into one of the side galleries or 
if die second bounce is within 
the lined area on the floor of 
the court No one wins a point 
at this stage. When the players 
change ends, however, the new 
server aims to defend his chase 
and thus win the point. He has 

to make sure he takes all the 

shots where the second bounce 
would be closer to the back wall 
than his original chase. 

Coaching is essential Be¬ 
tween three and six lessons 
should be enough to enable 
you to keep a rally going. “Half 
the battle is understanding 
where the ban is going to 


land," my coach said encour¬ 
agingly after I had carefully 
positioned myself to take the 
ball as it bobWed along the 
bade penthouse, only k> watch 
it lurch a good yard from me. 

The game's handicapping 
system means you do not have 
to worry about finding equally 
inept novices to play against It 
also means the dub’s profes¬ 
sional can find a suitable 
opponent if you suddenly ring 
up wanting a game. 

“It’s a very gentlemanly 
game,” Mr Gilbey says. “You 
rarely get an argument over a 
call: in my case I daren’t, 
because I still don’t under¬ 
stand the scoring. [He has 
been playfog for 19 years.] But 
it’s not a difficult game to pick 
up. Because you have the roof 
and walls to payoff, even if you 
mis-hiL the chances are the 
bail is stfll in play” 

But if s the feeling of having 
slipped Into some medieval 
time-warp, where notions of 
honour, valour, chivalry and 
honest craftiness—unaided by 
graphite, electronic eyes or 
aerodynamic wind-coefficients 
— still exist, thafs the real 
attraction. I wilted only slightly 
when, having delivered a pleas¬ 
ingly tricky serve that died 
against the back wall my 
coach congratulated me, add¬ 
ing: “You’ve only another 69 
different styles to learn."

■ The distinction between a mugger 
and a beggar in Manhattan is 
becoming rather blurred 


T he Concise Oxford 
definition of to mug 
is to “thrash; stran¬ 
gle: rob with violence, espe¬ 
cially in a public place”. The 
Webster definition is some¬ 
what less dramatic, but 
nevertheless insists that a 
mugging should involve at 
least some degree of vio¬ 
lence. So whatever hap¬ 
pened to me in West 44th 
Street last month was cer- 
j tainly not a mugging. 

I was walking at S.30pm 
along this somewhat desert¬ 
ed street when a young 
black man in a leather 
jacket blocked my path and 
said in a tense, even frantic, 
voice: “! am unemployed. I 
am desperate. Please give 
me money.” Before 1 had 
decided how to reply, al¬ 
though only a few seconds 
had passed, he had become 
angry. "I'm talking to you.” 
he said with sudden aggres¬ 
sion. “I'm talking to you.” I 
reached into my trouser 
pocket, extracted what 
turned out to be a $10 bill, 
and handed it to him. But 
he was not to be so easily 
placated. He put his hand 
inside his jacket and said: "I 
know you have money in 
your wallet. 1 have a knife. 
Don't make me use it on 

you. Take out _ 

your wallet Give 
me aQ the money Appa 
in it — all of it — 
and there will be you S 
no problem. You 
will go your way. ham 
and I will go .. 

mine." I did as I 
was told. I took 
out my wallet and niuni 

gave him all the u a . 

money it con- a 

rained ($200. un- anVOI 

fortunately; it was J 

Friday and I had asks 

just stocked up 
for the weekend). ~~” 

True to his word, he took 
the money and went on his 
way. I also went on mine, 
feeling perhaps a little shak¬ 
en. but predominantly 
grateful that he had not also 
deprived me of my driving 
licence and credit cards. I 
even began to feel that 1 had 
struck a rather favourable 
bargain. 

But when I have 
described this incident to 
New Yorkers—something 1 
have done with self-indul¬ 
gent frequency — I have 
been astonished and grati¬ 
fied by their reactions Al¬ 
most without exception, 
they have (1) shown bound¬ 
less fascination with every 
detail; (2) insisted, against

frightening than 
For it the incident on 

44th Street, was 
one that hap¬ 
pened to me when I was 

living in Washington DC. I 
was walking down a dark 
and empty street in the 
middle of the city when I 
noticed that a large blade 
man was approaching from I 
the opposite direction. As he ! 
drew nearer. 1 began to 
wonder whether 1 should 
cross the street, but I felt 
ashamed at the thought; he I 
had done nothing wtaatso- I 
ever to arouse suspicion. Bui 
as 1 continued walking in | 
his direction, and he in i 
mine, I found that my heart ! 
was racing. I told myself 
there was no reason for fear, 
and yet my anxiety grew. 
His footsteps grew louder, 
my heart beat still fester, 
until finally we came face to 
face. Then, with great sud¬ 
denness. he waved his arms 
violently in the air. and let 
out a terrifying roar. I 
thought ray heart would 
stop, but he did not even 
pause. He just walked on 
by. chuckling contentedly. 

Feeling not only a ner¬ 
vous wreck but also a com¬ 
plete idiot. 1 took myself 
home and poured myself an 
enormous drink. A long 
time has passed since then, 
but that experience remains 
much more vivid in my 
memory than my recent 
financial transaction in 
midtown Manhattan.

I t is in the nature of revisionism 
that; at its outset it can be 
depicted as heresy—as I warned 
in my original artide on John 
Charmky’s book Churchill: the End 
of Glory (January 2). And there has 
been not a link personal abuse — 
usually the recourse of those too la ly. 
or too ignorant to make rational 
debate. Let us at least agree that the 
indignation with which a particular 
argument is greeted is normally a 
good measure of its effectiveness. ■ 
My critics are indignant and 
rightly so. at the notion of Britain 
"suing for peace” in May 1940. But 
this J emphatically rejected. As I said, 
it would have been a liquidator's 
audit. And it cannot often enough be 
repeated, that in May 1940 Britain 
was saved by Churchifl’s courage, 
single-mindedness and political skill. 

Who was opposing him? The 
Foreign Office, and its secretary of 
state. Lord Halifax (the pretence of 
proceeding through Mussolini's arbi¬ 
tration was a typical piece of White¬ 
hall “grandmother's footsteps”), a 
substantial body of Conservative 
MPs. the Independent Labour Party, 
all communists (who took their orders 
from Stalin) and their fellow-travel¬ 
lers in tiie unions, and a good 
number of senior dvil servants. These 
were the real appeasers, and there 
were plenty of them. 


Historians who go to 


war 


A distinguished protester on The 
Times Letters page, Lord Gladwyn, 
wrote drat “the very idea [sicj that we 
could have contemplated [acj ... 
such a deal... is repugnant" (Janu¬ 
ary 9). WelL in May 1940 that same 
Lord Gladwyn — at the time whar is 
today called a “fast-streamer" in the 
tivD service — wrote a report on his 
meeting with an Italian diplomat to 
prepare the negotiations. In an 
annexe he added: “Personally I 
should have thought it might be 
advisable ... to try something like 
this .” (My italics). 

I know that the English language 
is a flexible instrument, but here we 
seemed to have moved from an 
“idea" to a “deal", from “contemplat¬ 
ing” to “recommending". 

The main reason that Lord 
Gladwyn claims now to be repelled 
by the idea, he says, is because of the 
Nazi regime’s attitude to “Jews, 
Poles. Russians, gypsies”. Yet there is 



no mention — I mean none — in 
cabinet or committee minutes, or in 
internally am dated policy papers at 
any time before 1943, or in “war 
aims” afterwards, of the plight of 
these unfortunate minorities. 

The sole, consideration was-the 


survival of the British nation state. 
This is whai guided my own estimat¬ 
ion and itwould, I suggest have been 
better served by a stand-off agree¬ 
ment in the spring of 1941. ... 

Of oourae Hitter'S ward,his signa¬ 
ture on a treaty, was valueless. But 
observance of treafy obligations, as 
we still find today, is no more than a 
reSection of the signatories’ national 
interest as they see it at the time. 

In March 1945. Hitler told 
Bormann that “... in the skies over 
Britain she had proved, her valour. 
We bad each of us triumphed over a 
Latin race. What mattered [in 1941] 
was the World balance of Power, not 
the European. Pitt would have seen 
this. Churchill could not.” 

It is incontestable that had the war 
stopped in 1941 Britain would have 
been richer, stronger and more of her 
people would have been alive than 
was the case in 1945. I think we 
could haw insisted on a demilitar¬ 


isation of Norway and t he fa y 
. Countries and a withdrawal fro m th e 
French Atlantic seaboard. The game 
can be played e ndl e ss ly. But. as 
William Waidegrave pointed out m 
his late (January 12) there was onfy 
one true determinant teat wo uld

of Western fibers! values — who first

The price of a free press 


Newspapers are 
essentially about 
intrusion of lives 


F irst things first i am against 
a new commission with pow¬ 
er to stop newspapers pub¬ 
lishing a truth about 
somebody merely because privacy is 
breached. I am glad the government 
has rejected Sir David Ca!ant's 
advice to set up such a commission. 

Why then did I sign the original 
“Cakutt One” report (1990) which 
said that if the press felled to put its 
house in order, such a tribunal 
titould indeed be set up? The answer 
is that I do not think the press’s house 
is in worse disorder than it was before 
1990. Readers whose mouths drop 
open must bear with me. 

A great pile of cant is now heaped 
atop last week’s “Calcutt Two” de¬ 
bate. Top of the pfle are the newspar 
pens themselves. It is humbug for 
them (us) to deride self-regulation for 
lawyers, bankers, doctors, insurers, 
estate agents but to scream fascist, 
dark ages, state control — at any hint 
that press self-regulation might be 
less than perfect Last week the papers 
cheered to the skies Richard 
Branson’s humiliation of Lord King. 
The means of that humiliation were 
libel laws that the press never ceases 
to castigate when used against itself. 

There is no inherent wrong in laws 
controlling the press: many exist 
already. Those on libd are being 
reformed. Privacy laws exist in other 
democracies- America has privacy 
and “false light" laws without a 
noticeably worse press than Britain. 
Statutory enforcement of a code of 
good practice is in itself no more state 
censorship than is the Broadcasting 
Complaints CammissiOTu the Adver¬ 
tising Standards Authority or a dozen 
other statutory tribunals. 

Nor can it help the press cause 
willully to misread Cakutt Two. It 
does not ban investigative journal¬ 
ism. Calcutt One proposed extending 
the criminal law to cover certain uses 
of telephoto lenses and bugging 
devices: it said reporters and photog¬ 
raphers who intrude on people’s 
private property should explain how 
the community benefits from tiie 
intrusion, or be guilty of an offence. 
Publication of the resulting material 
would not be an offence, only tiie 
intrusion if unwarranted. The fam¬ 
ous Times bugging of corrupt police¬ 
men — much cited this week as 
“impossible under Calcutt” — is as 
dear a case of a defensible investiga¬ 
tion as 1 can imagine. 

All of this was in Calcutt One and 
has yet to be implemented by an inert 
government But what of Calcutt 
Two's second proposal, tiie notorious 



tribunal? The 1990 committee said 
that a statutory tribunal would be 
triggered, fust if the press felled to 
support the Press Complaints Com¬ 
mission and second, if there was “less 
than overwhelming" compliance 
with tiie PCC and/or “a total collapse 
in standards”. 

Sir David now believes that the 
PCC has been dominated by its press 
members and is thus spineless. He 
also says that the Ashdown. Mellor, 
Bottomley. Morton affairs and tiie 
royal phones taps indeed indicate a 
collapse in standards. He therefore 
had no option but to advise that the 
tribunal route he activated. 

I disagree. The PCC may seem 
spin dess, but largely because it 
drew iisdf so Limited a remit. 
Lord McGregor's bizarre pub¬ 
lic agonising over whether Princess 
Diana did or did not sponsor the 
Mortem biography was neither here 
nor there. What baffled many people 
was his sflenoe on the tapes. Publish¬ 
ing the tapes was the most glaring 
“unwarranted” intrusion imagin¬ 
able. As long as the royal family 
neither complained nor sued, it 
seemed that the PCC would say 
nothing and self-regulation seemed 
dead. But that failing surely reflected 
a particular cast of victims and 
regulators, not self-regulation itself. 

Thus neither more vigorous self- 
regulation nor stronger criminal 
sanction have been seriously tried. 


But that does not mean that Calcutt 
One was ineffective. Following the 
honor libel cases of the 1980s, such 
as Elton John’s El million from The 
Sun. newspapers have unquestion¬ 
ably been more careful There are 
now in-house ombudsmen, com¬ 
plaint lines, correction cohunns and, 
yes, even the PCC Both complaints to 
newspapers and li- • ' : 
bel writs are down — % m 

as much as 40 per C T 
cent on two years l/fM/Wl 
ago. Even com- A } (/ f f L 

plaints of the most JT j ,

into private grief, f 

have fallen. I *//Zy\ f/ JL 

There are still / 

bad intrusions, such .. . — 

as the apalling 
treatment of Lesfa'eCrowthei'5 family. 

Politicians also suffer, for instance the 
largely fabricated stories about David 
Meflor and Norman Lamont But 
potrtirians have long been treated 
thus, and often perjure themselves 
before libel juries in response. Jour¬ 
nalism and politics were never gen¬ 
teel callings. Even the most robust 
rules get broken. Has the MPs* 
register of interests "totally collapsed" 
because some MPs abuse it? 

What has lately blinded all reason 
is a single incident the troubles in the 
Wales’s marriage. I break only a raiW. 
confidence to recall that during 
Cakutt One. we predicted tins one 
event might test self-regulation to 


destruction. There was no way any 
detail, however intimate, of such a 
tragedy would not break surface 
somehow and. enter the public do¬ 
main. Newspapers would be seen at 
their most frantic, most tasteless, 
most craven. No few known to man 
would withstand the onslaught No 
holds would be barred. Papes have

Of course if a blue

Newspapers are essentially about

voluntarily put themselves in toe 
public eye. 'Where toe intrusion is 
.unjustified — a fiendishly hand - 
boundary to define — those who. 
suffer are mostly those best equipped 
to survive the shock. 

- A rumbustious, irresponsible press 
is on balance a good not an evfl, but it 
has its price. Its evfls are among toe 
accidents of democracy. Unwarrant¬ 
ed intrusions are neither so wide¬ 
spread nor so increasing as to merit

another move to take ail risk out of

“worst excesses of toe press". It can

In a bowler hat 


WHERE self-regulation has 
failed, statutory control should 
be brought in. That at least is 
whar Sir David Calcutt con- 
dudes in his report into the the 
newspaper industry. 

But his view on legal inter¬ 
vention is rather different 
when he is considering some¬ 
what more familiar territory— 
the City. For wearing his 
alternative hat of chairman of 
the Takeover Panel. Calcutt is 
the staunchest advocate of — 
wait for it — self-regulation- 

This fondness for the light 
touch of self-control emerges 
from answers Calcutt gave to 
the Commons trade and in¬ 
dustry select committee on the 
work of the Takeover Panel in 
March 1991. Menzies Camp¬ 
bell, toe Liberal Democrat 
MP. questioned Calcutt on 
whether the work of the panel 
might be enhanced if it be¬ 
came a statutoiy body. 

Calcutt was emphatic “One 
has to look at toe entire picture 
to see whether we would be 
better off with something 
statutorily based than not I 
personally believe we would be 
worse off." Of toe present 


system Calcutt said: “I do 
believe it is a system which 
works and in which ! person¬ 
ally have faith.” 

Campbell perservered. 
“What would toe Panel have 
to fear from a statutory frame¬ 
work?" Calcutt responded: “It 
has nothing to fear in toe 
narrow sense. What it does 
have to fear is that you would 
have the Panel, instead of 
being master of its own house, 
subject to cases which might 
be dealt with in a contempora¬ 
neous context rather than 
historical: the greater the in¬ 
volvement of the courts, the 
lack of flexibility, the lack of 
certainty in decisions and the 
speed." 

Kenneth Warren, toe then 
chairman, in a line which 
could have straight from the 
Calcutrs new report, pressed 
Calcutt on whether toe seif- 
regulatory Panel, originally set 
up by toe Bank of England 
had sufficient powers? Cakutt 
said. “... I do not believe I 
require additional powers or 
an alteration of toe bass upon 
which the Panel operates -.. 
The characteristics of the Pan¬ 


el we have at the moment, 
and, being master in its own 
house, it has the flexibility to 
adapt the Code as circum¬ 
stances may require.” 

Lord McGregor, chairman 
of the Press Complaints Com¬ 
mission. could nor have put ft 
better himself.

Secret success 

WITH electronic bugging 
back in vogue, there could not 
be a better time for Jonathan. 
Aitken to launch his already 
acd aimed biography of Rich¬ 
ard Nixon. In Nixon, The Life . 
Aitken dwells on toe former 
president's successful re-entry 
on to the world stage at toe 
Oxford Union in 1978. 

Buz unknown to the author, 
toe man who invited Nixon to 
Oxford was one of toe guests 
at the party held at Aitken’s 
home on Thursday evening. 

At the time Alan Duncan, 
raw Conservative MP for Rut¬ 
land and Melton, was 2 land 
about to launch an unsuccess¬ 
ful bid for toe presidency of toe 
Oxford Union. Anticipating 
toat the ration's top job was al¬ 


ready his. Duncan, the 
onion’s treasurer, invited Nix¬ 
on to make his first overseas 
speaking engagement since 
his resignation. Nixon accept¬ 
ed. Duncan was defeated. 

The victor; Daniel Mqyfaxv 
these days a councillor in Ken¬ 
sington. confirmed the invita¬ 
tion. It was at Oxford that 
Nixon declared: “I screwed it 
up and paid tiie price." 

Despite fiviftg in tiie attain¬ 
ing Westminster street to Ait¬ 
ken, Duncan was relaxed 
about nor being mentioned hr 
the book, which has earned 
the author an approving fax 
from Nixon’s daughter, Julie. 
"Jonathan could never have

Elizabeth Dickson meets a couple who have made a narrow boat their second home, far from the urban rush even in the city 


Cast off the cares of 
a land-locked life 


H oot three times and ask 
for sendee” is a strange 
request to find at a 
London- restaurant 
The kitchen of this Indian eaterie 
overlooks the water, however, and 
the message stuck in the window is 
to attract boatmen on the Grand 
Union Canal where it Sows parallel 
to the Harrow Road, in west 
London. To the Morgan family, 
gliding past as they navigate their 
narrow brat, die sign is just 
another example of how different 
some aspects of life are when 
viewed from the water, rather than 
the shore. 

It is unusual too. to see herons 
and kingfishers in.the city. Unless, 
of course, you have reason to be 
alongside the towpath. just around 
the comer from the W11 branch of 
Sainsbuiy's. as Jadd Morgan was 
when sbe saw. at the edge of the 
canal these birds perched among 
foe rushes. 

Likewise, when catering, foe 
Morgans have to be prepared for 
unlikely visitors. Several limes, 
wildlife has helped itself to food 
from the kitchen. On one occasion 
a swan put its neck through the 
slatted window at breakfast time. 
and commandeered foe croissants. 

One way and another, things are 
so- refreshingly different aboard 
that television producer/director 
Andrew Morgan and his wife Jadd 
find the time spent on foeir ark-like 
home-from-home induces a pro¬ 
found sense of relaxation., Dues 
float away, literally. Lock gates are 
less stressful than traffic lights to 

E ty, and standing up atfoe 
wrth one hand on the tiller, is 
altogether more edifying than 
crouching over foe steering wheel 
of a car. In addition, there is foe 
pleasure of being out in foe open 
air, thesounds of the city dulled by 
water, and foe occasional good 
smell wafting by. 

For example, when we left foe 
Uxbridge mooring during an 
early evening last summer to travel 
on a poplar-lined stretch of water, 
the air felt remarkably pollution- 
free. and foe fragrance of 
elderflcwer blossom drifted from, 
towpath greenery. Ahead of us, 
dudes acted as outriders. 

The derision to become boat- 
owneis came about after Mr and 
Mrs Morgan spent a-day navigat- • 
ing a boat hired by Mr Morgan's 
father back to its moorings, an 
expedition which they felt to be a 
great success. So, having spent the 
first dozen years of their marriage 
hunting in vain for a second home, 
they passed foe next 12 as owners 
of Monk Hare, a second-hand 
narrow boat which they bought in 


1979. For much of this time the 
craft was based at Port Meadow, 
only a mile from the centre of 
Oxford. 

In May last year, foe Morgans 
were able to fulfil a long-standing 
wish to step aboard their own 

custom-built boat, called Florence. 

They had it made with buflfr-in 
sleeping quarters; a master bed¬ 
room and a separate cabin for 
children or visitors.

one 6*10” wide boat passes 
another, just a wave of the hand 
will suffice. However. Mrs Morgan 
.says, the degree of nosmess afloat is 
as wen-honed as that of any net- 
curtain twitcher in suburbia, and 
people love to gaze into each other’s 
portholes, if only fleetingly. 

A nimals are inquisitive too, par- 
ocularly dogs, sheep and cows. 
Once, when the boat was moored, a 
horse stuck its head around foe 
saloon door, and on another occa¬

patterns for Florence were punted 
by Mis Morgan, who leamt her art 
from signwriter Trida Parrott 
While she was putting the finishing 
touches to her work, foe Morgans 
lived aboard for a fortnight on the 
canal at Little Venice, in west 
London, principally to test foe new 
boat This routine involved keeping 
foeir push-bikes on board so that 
each evening one of them could 
pedal back to foeir house in 
Maiylebone to check foe telephone 
messages. 

The steel 60ft boat was built by 
Colecraft, near Rugby, then 
brought on a low-loader and low¬ 
ered by crane into the canal at 
Nonholt, where Highline Yachting 
has moorings. Here, it was fitted 
out by Highfine’s expert Gwen Cox 
to meet -all foe necessary require¬ 
ments for foe Certificate of Compli¬ 
ance, issued by a marine surveyor 
to show that foe boat conforms with 
the regulations of foe British Wa¬ 
terways Board- 

I n addition- to a good bath¬ 
room. there is now a sleek 
hob, grill cooker and full-sire 
refrigerator. Behind the var¬ 
nished wood panelling are tucked 
two boilers, a Valiant for foe hot 
water and an Aide to heat the 
central heating radiators. Electric¬ 
ity works either from a built-in 12v 
system, or they can plug into a240v 
system on shore when it is neces¬ 
sary to use power tools or hair¬ 
dryers. 

The cost of having Florence built 
and fitted out was about £45.000. 
The estimated budget for annual 
running costs is£2.500. This covers 
everything except food bills, and 
includes such items as insurance, 
petrol for weekend return car 
journey, diesel fuel, mooring fees, 
gas cjdinders (around £9 each). It 
also includes foe annual boat 
licence from the British Waterways 
Board for cruising on non-tidal 
waters, which costs about £300- As 
foe bottom was sandblasted at the 
time of building, this will not be a 
maintenance cost to budget for 
during the next seven years. 

On the credit side, there are no 
telephone, mains gas or electricity 
bills and no annual community 
charge either. 

Among foe future trips the 
Morgans have in mind is apian to 
explore foe newly restored Kennet 
arid Avon Canal from Reading to 
Bath, but far a holiday with a real 
sense of freedom, the idea is to take 
Florence for a meander down foe 
inlands waterways of France — in 
particular, the Canal du Midi 
which winds from Bordeaux to 
Toulouse and beyond.

Safety in numbers 


A rash of French specialist 
property agencies has 
sprung up in Britain over 
the past four years. Some are 
highly reputable and efficient; 
others less so (Cheryl Taylor 
writes). Foreign agents cannot sell 
property in France without a full 
French licence, which very few 
have. Many work with French 
agents and share the commissions 
on a 50-50 basis, so foe buyer 
should not be paying any more by 
using a British agent 
However, some charge an addi¬ 
tional fee, which may be difficult to 
spot It is important to ascertain 
how much commission you are 
paying and to whom 
A new French agency group, 
Groupe France; aims to end foe 
confusion. The group was formed 
fay seven leading British agents, 
who between them offer a range of 
pr op er ty and related services

throughout France. All work wifo 
French licensed agents with whom 
they share the commission equally, 
and all adhere to the code of 
conduct laid down by foe National 
Association of Estate Agents. 

Of course, there are other equal¬ 
ly respectable agents operating 
outside this network, but for 
would-be French property owners, 
the new group offers a one-stop 
property shop. One phone call puts 
prospective buyers in contact with 


a network of estate agents and 
services throughout France. 

"Our aim is to pull together the 
different strands of the Anglo- 
French property industry and to 
offer foe public a co-ordinated 
service," said Frank Rutherford, of 
French specialist agents Ruther¬ 
fords, who has been selling proper¬ 
ty in France for the past 25 years. 

The agents include Rutherfords

ARTS 


SATURDAY JANUARY 16 1993 


The work of modem British classical composers has been given a leg-up by one of the legends of psychedelic rock, dive Davis reports 

Dead composers society - the remit 


I magine, for a moment, that 
you are a member of that 
neglected, semi-pauperised 
breed known as the modem 
British composer. You have no 
influential mend to -give you a 
television commission or dip his or 
her hand into the funds of your 
regional arts board. Most of your 
works go unperformed, and even 
when they are played in public your 
audience probably consists of your 
spouse, half a dozen loyal friends 
and a janitor who is waiting to lock 
up after you have finished. 

Then, one morn¬ 
ing, an envelope ar¬ 
rives with an Amer¬ 
ican postmark. You 
open it, and inside 
you find a letter from 
a charitable organis¬ 
ation calling itself ihe 
Rex Foundation, 
which compliments 
you on your composi¬ 
tions and expresses 
the hope that you will 
produce some more 
in the near future. 

Oh. and please ac¬ 
cept this cheque for 

$ 10 , 000 . - 

At this point, you might expea to 
wake up and find that it has all 
been a very pleasant dream. But no, 
the Rex Foundation really exists. 
Stranger still. this mysterious and 
secretive body is administered by 
those apostles of high-dedbd psy¬ 
chedelia, die Grateful Dead. 

TWenty-five years on. the band 
still attracts an army of dedicated 
followers, affectionately known as 
Deadheads, and continues to pro¬ 
mote its own version of the West 
Coast counter-culture: The unlikely 
story of how the group has helped 
promote die work of a disparate 
collection of British composers — 
including the late Bernard Stevens 
and the veteran Robert Simpson, as 
well as the avant-gardists Chris 
Dench and Michael Finnissy — is 
fold in Jeremy Mane’s Arena 
documentary “The Grateful and 
the Dead”, to be shown on BBC 2 
next Friday (9.30pm). 

Marre first stumbled across the 


‘We met 
in a pub, 
and he 
just said: 
“How much 
money do 
you need?’” 


story when he was filming the 
Dead for a Channel 4 series about 
the art of improvisation. When he 
raised the question of paying the 
band a fee. Marre was fold to give 
the monqr to the foundation, which 
had been set up in memory of a 
roadie who died’ in the 1970s. 
Since the early 1980s the band, 
which is famous for spending 
months on the road (to the extent 
that it remains America’s highest- 
grossing live group), has raised 
funds for the organisation through 
a special series of concerts. Those 

_ held last May raised 

about $450,000. 

Decisions on haw 
to spend the money 
are made by the mu¬ 
sicians and the staff. 
“It’s an extraordi¬ 
nary operation,” 
Marre says. “The 
Dead have 120 
people on their pay¬ 
roll. all on pensions. 
They ail get the same 
money—down to the 
man who sits at the 
door of the studio all 

_ day long and checks 

people in and ouL 
They all have a say in where the 
foundation money goes.” 

And so money flows out, to 
American environmental groups 
and Aids charities and Jungian 
institutes. According to Marre, the 
Dead have their own pet projects. 
Guitarist Bob Weir, for example, 
sends money to impoverished Hues 
musicians and their families. And 
this is where the British composers 
enter the picture, for the bassist Phil 
Lesh is an aficionado of contempo¬ 
rary classical music 
The Anglo-American relation¬ 
ship began about eight years ago. 
after Lesh — who once studied 
composition under Luciano Berio 
— had heard a bootleg recording of 
Adrian Boult conducting Havergal 
Brian's “A Gothic Symphony”, a 
sprawling work which requires a 
200-piece orchestra, four brass 
bands and a choir of some 700. 
Brian, who died in 1972. com¬ 
posed 32 symphonies in all. but 



Workingman’s bread; money from Phil Lesh. the Grateful Dead’s bass player, led to compositions fay the late Bernard Stevens being recorded for the first time 


fewer than half were performed in 
his lifetime. Lesh was so impressed 
by the “Gothic” that he contacted 
David Brown, then the secretary of 
the Havergal Brian Society. 

“1 had a call from a man who 
said he was from the Grateful 
Dad." Brown says. “I’d just about 
heard of them. We met in a pub. 
and he just stud. 'How much 
money do you need? ” 

A first instalment of $10.000 was 
soon on its way. and was used to 
fund a recording of Brian’s Seventh 
and 31st symphonies, with the 


Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Or¬ 
chestra under Sir Charles 
Mackerras: Another injection of 
cash followed, and the society has 
now embarked on a cycle of Brian’s 
symphonies. 

Lesh then forged a link with 
Chris Dench, who happened to be 
published by die same firm as 
Brian. During a visit to the office 
one day he happened to notice a 
letter from Lesh lying on a desk. As 
hick would have it. Dendi was 
himorff a Deadhead, and decided 
to contact Lesh. Other recipients of 


largesse since then have included 
Simpson, Michael Finnissy. James- 
Dillon and Richard Barred. Lesh 
has also given money towards die 
first recordings of compositions by 
Stevens, who died in 1983. 

A further series of commissions 
and recordings has already been set 
in train far the coining year. 
Otherwise, the composers have 
little face-to-face contact with Lesh. 
who normally communicates by 
letter or fax. Apart from, financing 
projects, he arranges for the com¬ 
posers’ music to be played on a 


regular slot on a San Franriaco 
radio station. 

"When I first heard about all this, 
I thought it was a great story,” 
Marre says.'The only problem was 
that the Dead didn’t want to 
publicise it It's very secretive. 
When you ring die Rex Founda¬ 
tion's number, you’re told to‘expect 
to hear from us in about a year’.

Saint-Saens meets 
the master singers 

The Bastille Opera’s Samson is crowned with 
strength, sensuousness and Wagnerian locks 


E ver since it opened its 
doors in Paris; the Bas¬ 
tille Opera has had 
something of a beleaguered 
took. But no sign of its 
bufferings, on stage and off. is 
visible in the first major re¬ 
cording to come from the 
house. Samson ct Dalila 
(EMI 0777 7 54470 2. 2 
CDs). 

Myung-Whun Chung, the 
Bastille's music director, wisely 
rakes on a French opera and ■ 
proves that he is a top-rank 
Saint-Saens conductor. His 
control of the orchestra and 
chorus — the laner often 
placed far back from the 
microphones — is superbly 
disciplined. 

‘ Chung, like his Samson 
predecessors on record, led by 
Barenboim and Davis, has an 
instant feel for the sensuous¬ 
ness of Saint-Saens’ opera: 
The opening of Act 11. with the 
orchestra allowing a light 
breeze to flicker across the 
valley of Sorek at dusk, is 
magical. 

He covers up the banalities 
as far as he can. including the 
trivial Bacchanale in the last 
act And. best of all, he makes 
Samson sound like die Wag¬ 
nerian opera it really can be 
when Saint-Saens is at his 
most inspired. 

■ Most of these peaks come in 
Act II. Here Chung is power¬ 
fully abetted by Plarido Do¬ 
mingo and Waltraud Meier 
in the title roles. Domingo’s 
tenor has darkened since he 
first recorded Samson with 
Barenboim 15 years ago. and 
all to the good. 

He may not bring the 
pathos of Carreras to the Act 
III aria “Vois ma misere”, but 
no one matches him in suc¬ 
cumbing to Dalila’s blandish¬ 
ments earlier. 

Meier easily surpasses her 
rivals as the siren of the Gaza. 
She is an experienced expo-

nent of Wagner and it shows 
as the tones of hatred at the 
start of Aa If are lethafly 
sweetened with Palestinian 
milk and honey to achieve 
Samson’s downfall. 

There are no passenger? in 
the Bastille’s supporting cast 
Alain Fondary is full of zeal as 
the High Priest of Dagon. 
Jean-Philippe Courtis makes 
his mark as the short-lived 
Abimelech. And there is even 
Samuel Ramey in the tiny role 
of the Old Hebrew. This is the 
best of the available Samsons: 
more French opera, please, 
from the Bastille. 

Saint-Sogns first conceived 
Samson as an oratorio: fortu¬ 


nately he had second 
thoughts. Gounod’s Mors et 
Vila (EMI CDS 7544S9 2, 2 
CDs) is oratorio through and 
through. It was commissioned 
fay the Birmingham Festival 
and first performed in 1885, 
making it a few years younger 
than Samson. 

But there is no disguising it 
as other than a late Victorian 
dinosaur, a curiosity for those 
who like their religious music 
scored for multiple trumpets 
and assembled harps. The 
oratorios which Gounod wrote 
towards the end of his career 
have become the least fashion¬ 
able works of a now none too 
fashionable composer. 

B ut there are rewards for 
those prepared to stay 
the course of just over 
two and a half hours' muse 
Michel Plasson and his Tou¬ 
louse Cap hole are expert Gou¬ 
nod interpreters, and so too 
are his astutely chosen soloists. 

The baritone takes die larg¬ 
est slice of the action, especially 
when Mors (the Requiem) is 
over and Gounod switches to 
Vita (St John's vison of the 
promised land). One reason 
undoubtedly is that Sir 
Charles Santley was engaged 
for the premiere. 

Jos6 Van Darn cannot boast 
a knighthood, but his bari¬ 
tone. whether separating the 
sheep from the goats or seeing 
a new Jerusalem, has few 
equals in the French reper¬ 
toire. John Alerts tenor is 
notably attractive in die “Inter 
oves” and Barbara Hendricks 
exudes female sweetness. 

Gounod, alas; was prevent¬ 
ed from conducting the pre¬ 
miere of this deeply pious work 
because of a tittle extra-marital 
strife he had at the time with 
die Weldon family in London 
and his wife in Paris.

I n the years since die 
Beatles instructed Geoige 
Martin to score an eight- 
piece string arrangement for 
“Eleanor Rigby”, the image of 
the d6dass6 pop musician 
seeking inspiration from the 
starched formality of the classi¬ 
cal music world has become 
something of a cliche. At¬ 
tempts at mixing the two have 
been at best quixotic (Deep 
Purple’s 1970 Concerto For 
Group and Orchestra, the 
Who'S rock opera. Tommy) 
and ai worst downright clown¬ 
ish (virtually anything by the 
Electric Light Orchestra). 

But more recently, the boot 
has been on the otter fool and 
some classical musicians such 
as Nigel Kennedy and the 
Kronas Quartet have beat 
assiduously mu rt in g accep¬ 
tance in the popular musk: 
market, whether by choice of 
repertoire or hairstyle. 

The Brodsky Quartet are

one in the group is older than

seemed uncomfort ably at odds

Costello and the quartet have 
new collaborated on The Ju¬

of short compositions for voice

The project has dearly not 
been undertaken in any frivo¬ 
lous or half-hearted manner— 
indeed, quite the reverse — 
and. despite the agile perfor¬ 
mances of the musicians and 
Costello's intricate and some¬ 
times witty wordplay, the 
mood of the collection is 
unremittingly somber. 

Loosely based on foe theme 
of letterwriting, it swoops in 
rapid succession from suicide

love letter (“Taking My Life In

these missives seek to ewka 
there is an aura of clinical 
detachment hanging over the 
performances, as if the letters, 
whether joyful or tearful, are 
all being read by the same 
unblinking eye- 

It may be a laudable accom¬ 
plishment technically, but 
even allowing for the fact that 
to ears attuned to modem pop

One: The Shorts this Is a 
collection of aD the lengthiest 
chunks from their recent lire 
show. The briefest item is the 
setf-cxplanataiy “Drum Duer 
(sx minutes), the longest a 20- 
minute medley incorporating 
“1 Know What 1 Lite ... ”, 
“The Lamb Lies Down On 
Broadway”, and others. 

Although brilliantly played 
and faithfully recorded, die 
convoluted arrangements and 
meandering pace of the album 
quickly become wearing. No 
matter how often and in whal 
direction the envelope is 
stretched. rock ispteh&y an art 
form which stubbornly re¬ 
mains at its best when served 
up by ngjsy instruments r»n 
four-minute chunks.

THE SUNDAY13MES 

Why bother with the theatre? 

4since you can watch a great variety of performing 
art on television, some compelling reason is 
necessary to makeyou abandon your cosy womb. 
One reason might be that you wish to eat out. 
and the theatre should then be seen as a pre- 
digestive experience, to be suffered along with ' 
inflated prices, awful productions and predictable 
and endless revivals. This makes dinner 
afterwards all the more pi quan t. ^ 

The playwright Steven Berkoff joins Julie 
Burchiil and Jonathan Miller in the live art 
. debate, tomorrow, fo The Culture- '

• CHOICE: A second season of this series of feature-length 
documentaries gets off to an impressive start with Frenchman 
Nicholas Philibert's award-winning film abottf deaf people. The 
accent is not so much on how we see their world as how they see 
ours. There s no vorce-ovs' and deaf people apeak straight to 
camera as they explain the problems they have had with the hearing 
as well as the joys of meeting others with the same disability. One 
woman descrtoas how. until the age of eight, she befieved that 
since there were no deal adults at her school, deal children must 
never grow up. In other parts of the film Ptn&ert makes us interpret 
through our eyes as the camera lingers lovingly on faces and 
emotions (81134968) 



Voice and abkigs: Elvis Costello, Brodsky Quartet (9 l2Spdi) 

9.2S The Juliet Letters 

• CHOICE: Singer Elvis Costeflo has a terrific voice which may not 
yet have been discovered by those uninterested in rock. All that 
could be about to change however. The Juliet Letters is the name of 
a new song sequence performed by Costello in urdfcaty partnership 
with the Brodsky Quartet, it's a work which defies categorisation 
with Costsflo’s impassioned singing complementing the tight 
"classical" ptaytog of the quartet The title derives from a 
newspaper article about a Veronese professor who decided to 
answer the many letters addressed to Shakespeare's Juflet 
Capulet but the work spins off into new directions as Costello takes 
us through many different types of epistle, from the child's letter to 
the suicide note. The music is paramount but there are aleo 
interviews exploring what Costello calls the "sonic fluke" of their 
working so well together (291332)

• CHOICE Those were the days my friend, buthow much do you 
realty remember of them? This entertainingly nostalgic wattow, 
hosted by Michael Aspel, uses an audience of Sixties cetebrfties to 
enfivenwha could have beer a very static show. John Bird, George 
Best, Mary Whttehouae, Sancfie Shaw and Rita TusNngham are 
among those reliving memories in between embarrassing cfips of 
the way we were. It's all rather staged but the anecdotes—Shew 
remembering how Andy Warhol asked her to "piddte On hte 
painting", or Oftver Tobias recallng the hysterica) atotences at Harr 
— are fascinating. Sfightiy more depressing te the sight of 
resurrected 1990s ban ds defivsring staid versions cl their wild,

11 JO Htar Angel Heart (1987) 

• CHOICE: Mickey Route has never been better than as Harry 
Angel, the soft-spoken, increasingly bewildered 1950s private eye 
In this riveting mystery thriBer. Though there is a suggestion of. 
Raymond Chandler, the mood is much darker as director Alan 
Park®- draws us into a vertex of. murder. 3ex and voodoo. Some of 
the impact of Angel's descent into bsfi may be lessened by the 
smafl screen and the fact that this te a "TV verston", but the striking 
vteuafe and bizarre pkrt twists are guaranteed to engross. Charlotte 
Rampling and Robert De Niro are among the fine supporting cast 
with De Mro gloriously over the top as toe sinister businessman who 
hires Angel. Some tacky special effects almost rub a shocking 
conclusion, but Roiffke grabs our attention right to the end

10.00 Screen TYro: The Clothes In the Wardrobe 

• CHOICE: Afce Thomas Elis's 1950s novel is successfully 
adapted in this lively film launching the Screen Two drama season. 
Packed full of delicious lines, it is the story of Margaret (Lena 
Headey), a moony young woman who has known love but is 
doomed to be married to an older man she hates. Her mother (Jufie 
Walters), has no sympathy—"every girl wants to be a nun before 
their wedding, ifs natural" — but mother's old school pal, the exotic 
Lift (a wonderful performance by Jeanne Moreau) could be the ally 
she needs. Lrii seems to spend her time making caustic remarks — 
"vails make ths poor girls look as if they haven’t been unpacked" — 
and getting drunk with the groom's mother (Joan Plowright), but 
rest assured, she has some exciting plans for the big day. (Ceefax)

REAR VIEW 


SATURDAY JANUARY 16 1993 


A guide to the 
naughty bits 

Sex seminars being the new thing, Nigella Lawson switches 
onto who is doing what, and why, and how, and to whom 


WARNING: this re- 
view contains mat¬ 
erial of an explicit 
nature. Some words 
may well embarrass 
or offend, and read¬ 
ers of a delicate or. 
indeed, merely deco¬ 
rous disposition are advised to turn 
to another page. 

THE two identifying characteris¬ 
tics of the age seem to be. in varying 
proportion and unsavoury combi¬ 
nation, cynicism and prurience. 
This may go some way to explain¬ 
ing why a proposal for The Good 
Sex Guide was part of Carlton's 
franchise operation, why this may 
have helped the application, why 
the programme has been made, 
wiiy it’s watched — and why this 
review is being written. 

The Good Sex Guide, the first 
episode of which was shown across 
the ITV network, variously, on 
Monday and Thursday, is far from 
opening the increasingly yawn- 
inducing titillation versus educa¬ 
tion debate. Over recent months 
the spate of “adult information” 
videos, with such tides as The 
Lavers Guide. Making Love. The 
Essential Guide to Better Sex, and 
Supervirility, has all but inured us 
to the arguments for and against 
Will they be watched by grateful 
grown-ups. plagued by psych osexu- 
al angst but too shy to voice their 
worries. or by sniggering children 
reeling with gland-throbbing shock 
at being able to receive so graphic a 
sex education? Or is it all. as most 
people suspect, just an excuse to get 
sex on television? You work it out: 
the arguments are too well-re¬ 
hearsed to merit a replay here. 

Embarrassment, it always seems 
to me. is the most natural response. 
Most programmes pre-empt (his 


TV REVIEW 


by viewing embarrassment as an 
inhibiting factor to be overcome, 
whereby rbc programme-makers 
show their own confusion between 
the act of sex and the act of 
watching a television programme 
about it Embarrassment or dis¬ 
comfort about the latter ate appro¬ 
priate. while the same feelings 
about the former are not. 

Even the coarsest soul can recog¬ 
nise. if nothing else, the disparity 
between the unparalleled intimacy 
of the activity and the publicness of 
its display, ft is that recognition I 
call embarrassment — that coupled 
with dismay that sex is no longer 
seen as a private activity and an 
essential, intimate pan of adult 
human life, but a leisure pursuit, a 
kind of. to ate a modern euphe¬ 
mism. horizontal jogging. 

Everything 1 had heard about 
The Good Sex Guide before it was 
transmitted made me fear the worst 
Tacky, exploitative, emetically 
cringe-malting: you name it, I ex¬ 
pected it I am still somewhat stun¬ 
ned at finding it didn't live down to 
my expectations. I couldn't honest¬ 
ly say it was innocent of the crimes 
cited above, but it breezes through 
any imputation of vulgarity simply 
by'being so cheerily, honestly vul¬ 
gar. "Sex is a fraught and messy 
business,” Margi Clarke an¬ 
nounced in Rabelaisian spirit at the 
start of the first programme, “with 
lots of squelching and sweat." 

Freud has told us all about 
laughter being a defensive act of 
embarrassment — why we make 
jokes about sex. why we snigger at 
lurve. The Good Sex Guide, clever¬ 
ly. does not cry to convince the 
viewer out of embarrassment, but 
includes enough hinny bits to 


provide a laughter outlet for it. It 
helps, of course, that the comedy 
sketches are actually funny. These 
are not seedy northern' dub or 
sixth-form common-room jokes. 
And. as part of the generally high 
production values of the pro¬ 
gramme. the cast is impressive and 
the performances polished. 

No joke improves in the retelling, 
but I did like the one about 
erogenous zones — “from the 
French emger, to prepare for sex". 

This opening episede focused on 
women: their problems, their plea¬ 
sures — which in turn shifted the 
emphasis to men and how they 
could create the first and prevent 
the second. The programme only 
just steered away from a “Men! 
Aren't (hey awfiilT line, which 
could hardly serve die putative aim 
of the series. On the other hand, 
were I a man I might feel it was 
more a collision course than a drive 
towards mutual understanding. 



O ne of the sketches, for 
example, features Shar¬ 
on and Tracey from 
Birds of a Feather. 
Briefly, the joke is they’re in a 
supermarket which sells sex aids. 
They decide to buy condoms for 
their husbands. The condoms 
come in four sizes: small, medium, 
large and Olympian. With word¬ 
less but eloquent eye-rolling, a 
disappointed tut. they reach out — 
and each get a packet from the box 
marked “small". Ha. ha. Now. the 
thing Is. in a programme which 
seems intent on reassuring women 
about worries they might have 
about their bodies or sexual compe¬ 
tence. why is it all right to foster 
men’s anxiety about theirs? 

On the whole though, the mood 
is punchy rather than antagonistic. 
An alternative to that children's 


in bed with Margi: polished performances, honest vulgarity and an absence of embarrassment save the day forThe Good Sex Guide 


party favourite, pinning the tail on 
the donkey, is offered in the form of 
men being faced with an un¬ 
marked diagram of a woman’s 
pubic area and having to place a 
counter at the exact position they 
think is the dhoris. This is less 
cringe-making, but rather more 
alarming than one might suppose. 

Whai saves this, and many other 
episodes, from sheer tackiness is the 
honesty of die production, the lack 
of any attempt to make it erotic, 
and Ms Clarke. She stops it from 
bang embarrassing because she 
isn't embarrassed. Whafs more, 
she has charm. 


Sex is getting a good showing on 
television generally at the moment 
The only time What Shall we Tell 
the Children? fBBCl. 11.05pm) 
was really embarrassing was when 
the adults were on. The idea of 
having one's parents going on 
television (even if they are un¬ 
named) talking about how one was 
only ten *but “an early developer 
and embarrassed about ir seems 
too painful to consider. Do children 
have to give their consent before 
their parents publidy humiliate 
them? I cant imagine anything 
worse if not Apart from that, it 
seems a pity that this impressive 


programme is not shown at a time 
when it could perhaps rectify what 
die children in it are complaining 
about — die lack of information 
and reluctance of adults to explain 
or discuss. 

The cringe factor is surprisingly 
low. but the whinge factor is not 
One teenage girl complains that at 
school “we’re not told about the 
enjoyment of sex. We hare to find 
out about that from magazines or 
television.” That it seems to me. is 
precisely what magazines and this 
sort of television praganjme are for. 

Channel 4‘s hew sex. pro¬ 
gramme, which also started last 


week, coaid .unquestionably be 
fitted into die biology syllabus. The 
Sexual _ Imperative (Thursday, 
9pm) looks at the Sexual drive 
throughout die animal kingdom 
and investigates what social and 
biological factors govern sex. I fed 
embarrassed about my cynicism in 
presuming in advance that this 
would be yet another excuse to give 
sex academic respectabUhy. 

In die event die programme is 
stunning, informative and compel¬ 
ling. And It manages the rare

• Sounds of the Seventies 

Today. BBC2. 7.1 Spm 
Having squeezed every drop of library 
footage out of the 1960s. the old 
generation of TV producers have moved 
on. leaving the way dear for a brave new 
generation to flaunt their own radical 
nostalgia for glam-rock, platform soles, 
the Bay City Rollers and Biba. First in a 
ten-part series giggles at the clothes they 
— all right then, we — wore, to the strains 
of G. Glitter, D. Cassidy and T Rex. For 
those who have difficulty seeing words 
like “dassic" and “vintage" applied to a 
decade which spawned The Sex Pistols 
and Donny Osmond, there's also Mich¬ 
ael Aspel’s homage to the 1960s on ITV 
at 9.55pm tonight and the first of 
Channel 4's compilation of 1960s Ready 
Steady Go programmes at 1 lpm tonight 

• Screen Two: The Clothes in the 
Wardrobe 

Sunday. BBC2, l Opm 
1950 in Croydon — and how many rimes 
have we heard thaL or something like it 


TV PREVIEW 


introdudngaTV play synopsis? But this is 
a Wans Hussein-directed adaptation of 
Alice Thomas Ellis's novel of an unwant¬ 
ed suburban love-match rather than the 
run-of-the-mill post-war nostalgia trip, 
and stars Jeanne Moreau. Julie Walters. 
David Threlfall and Joan Plowright 

• The Ark 

Tuesday, BBC2, 9-25pm 
This was meant to be a jofly portrait of 
London Zoo and its human and animal 
inhabitants, but a week after filming 
started the 170-year-old instirution an¬ 
nounced that its bank balance was critical 
and possibly terminal, and the film 
became a metaphor for something larger. 
Depending on your view, the collapsing 
zoo stands for the end of Thatcherism, the 
fallibility of consensus politics or the 
enviable ability of animals to get on with 
the basics while the humans squabble 
around them. 


• Inspector Morse 
Wednesday. ITV, 8pm 

Definitely the last of the very best of die 
TV-grown detectives. As strong a cast — 
stronger even — as ever (John Gielgud. 
Sheila Gish. Robert Hardy), and by way 
of a taster The Mystery of Morse 
tomorrow at 1 Opm on’lTV looks back at 
five years’ worth of Morses with the stars,' 
the creator, ex-cop John Stalker and ex- 
con John McVicar. 

• Arena: The Grateful awl the Dead 

Friday. BBC2. 9J0pm 
No, not more 1960s nostalgia, although 
the Grateful Dead are as typical a still¬ 
touring 1960s band as ever thrashed an 
axe. But while other bands of the era were 
putting their earnings into rebuilding 
smashed hotel rooms, the Dead used 
theirs to start and run the Rex Fouuda- 
tion. which has funded composers who 
would otherwise have struggled for recog¬ 
nition in their home countries — such as 
Harergal Brian, whose 32 symphonies 
were paid for with foundation money.

EVERY town 
has a freak 
shop. Tucked 
away next to 
Freeman Har¬ 
dy & Willis, 
crouching in a 
street filled 
I with heavy materialistic 
bread head building societies 
and banks, there will undoubt¬ 
edly be a tiny, tiny building 
with a funny, herbal smeU 
emanating from its owners. 

It’s probably called “Equi¬ 
nox’’ or “Vibes” or something 
with a horribly unfunny pun 
on “zen" in the tide. The sign 
over the door will say “Now 
and Zen — purveyors of love 
beads, joss sticks, tarot cards 
and strange board games 
involving wizards that you 
can'r really see the point of 
since 1988”. and the window 
will be covered in friendly, 
hand-painrsd pictures of rain¬ 
bows and dolphins and Volks¬ 
wagen Caravanetres. 

On entering the shop, two 
things will happen. I. You will 
be deafened- This is because 
freak shops have very low-tech 
security systems, which consist 
of windchimes and strings of 
bells pinned to the back of (he 
door. Not only are these very 
loud, but they are also particu¬ 
larly tuneless. 1 wouldn’t mind 
if they were all in the same key. 
2. You will knock something 
over. This is because freak 
shops are very, very small. 
We're talking an average of six 
feet bv six feeL a' freak 
supermarket would be a show¬ 
er cubicle. 

So. pushing our trolley 
round Now and Zen, wiiat 
sparkfy bargains call* our eye 
this week? 

Item I: Utile brown boxes 
with totally unopenable lids. 
This is supposedly for keeping 
your dope in — however, as 
you can never be totally sure if 
you’re holding' the box the 
right way up. or if you're 


Who but a student could need all that New Age junk? 


0ENZX. McNEELANCE 






Non-essentials: the goods in freak shops do not belong on the list of Useful Things 


pulling the right hinge, the 
bioodv thing stays shut for all 
eternity. You could use the 
unopenable box as a pedestal 
for displaying favoured orna¬ 
ments. or keeping doors open. 
Jus carry on keeping your 
dope in a sock behind the 
radiator. 

Item 2: Some candles. 
Warped, strangely coloured 
candles, dotted all over with 
knobbiy bits and holed like 
Swiss cheese. Unlit, these look 
vaguely mystic and cool. Lit 
they are "almost limitlessiy 
dangerous — what are they 
made of? What is that strange 
smell? Why has your budgeri¬ 
gar started making linle chok¬ 
ing sounds and hit the floor of 
his cage saving “Oh wow"? 

Item 3: Caned objects. 
Carved objects are as old as 
time, and still a bad idea. 
There’s an unfortunate pre¬ 
ponderance of these things in 
freak shops. I’m afraid — and 
nearly all of them are supplied 
by “die Craftsmen of the 
Wolde" — an industry consist¬ 


ing of three men and a blunt 
bread knife. I like to think, 
hacking away at deformed 
lumps of wood and turning 
them into objects of useless¬ 
ness ro be treasured for never. 
To you and me. the amount of 
effort put into turning half an 
inch of stick into a carved frog 
would be negligible — 20 
minutes, half an hour tops. I’d 
say — and you could be 
watching TV while you're 
doing it, so it’s not as if it 
counts or anything. But the 
Craftsmen of the Wolde spend 
so much time creating these 
gorgeous things that they 
think charging £25 per figure 
is reasonable. I have pleasure 
in disabusing them of this 
notion every week. 

Freak shops sell things you 
would never find anywhere 
else — mainly because it 
wouldn't occur to you to look 
for them. The following are 
not Useful Things. OK? Love 
potions — in all likelihood 
made from distilled grass- 
dippings and tea. Skulls with 


candles in — tacky and dan¬ 
gerous. “Meditation" cas¬ 
settes. entitled Appalachian 
Goat Music and 77te Sound of 
the Whales. These are sup¬ 
posed to relax you. but what 
they actually do is wind you up 
— you keep waiting for die 
chorus, ana. of course, there is 
no chorus. Apparently, having 
some kind of decent tune 
would be bad for our psyches. 

And what is all this with 
singing whales anyway? Who 
wrote “Bom to Be Wild’*, eh? 
Who wrote “Anarchy In The 
UK"? Not a whale, it was 
humans, humans on dry land. 
where we can plug in dearie 
guitars and sing without 
gargling. ■' 

Finally, who goes to freak 
shops? Well students, stu¬ 
dents and students. You go 
into higher education to learn. 

1 guess. And one of the first 
things you Irani is “I do not 
need a Craftsmen of the 
Wolde carved frog.”
